Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream git package and not the git package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Git GUI allows you to use the Git source control management tools via a GUI. When a user clones an untrusted repository and is tricked into editing a file located in a maliciously named directory in the repository, then Git GUI can create and overwrite files for which the user has write permission. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.43.7, 2.44.4, 2.45.4, 2.46.4, 2.47.3, 2.48.2, 2.49.1, and 2.50.1.
