NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream git package and not the git package as distributed by RHEL.

git_connect_git in connect.c in Git before 2.30.1 allows a repository path to contain a newline character, which may result in unexpected cross-protocol requests, as demonstrated by the git://localhost:1234/%0d%0a%0d%0aGET%20/%20HTTP/1.1 substring.
