How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 python3.11-gitpython.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3.11-gitpython package and not the python3.11-gitpython package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

GitPython versions before 3.1.58 fail to validate options passed to git rm and git checkout commands in IndexFile.remove() and Head.checkout(). Attackers can supply --pathspec-from-file and --pathspec-file-nul parameters to read arbitrary files accessible to the process, with full file contents returned in GitCommandError.stderr.
