How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable libgit2 to version 0.25.1+really0.24.6-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgit2 package and not the libgit2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The http_connect function in transports/http.c in libgit2 before 0.24.6 and 0.25.x before 0.25.1 might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers by leveraging clobbering of the error variable.
