CVE-2018-19486 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:11 git to version 1:2.19.2-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream git package and not the git package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
Git before 2.19.2 on Linux and UNIX executes commands from the current working directory (as if '.' were at the end of $PATH) in certain cases involving the run_command() API and run-command.c, because there was a dangerous change from execvp to execv during 2017.
