NVD Description

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

CRLF injection vulnerability in the ui-blob handler in CGit before 0.12 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks or cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via CRLF sequences in the mimetype parameter, as demonstrated by a request to blob/cgit.c.
