NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream git-credential-libsecret package and not the git-credential-libsecret package as distributed by SLES.

Git through 2.14.2 mishandles layers of tree objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted repository, aka a Git bomb. This can also have an impact of disk consumption; however, an affected process typically would not survive its attempt to build the data structure in memory before writing to disk.
