## Overview

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When reading a config value, Git strips any trailing carriage return and line feed (CRLF). When writing a config entry, values with a trailing CR are not quoted, causing the CR to be lost when the config is later read. When initializing a submodule, if the submodule path contains a trailing CR, the altered path is read resulting in the submodule being checked out to an incorrect location. If a symlink exists that points the altered path to the submodule hooks directory, and the submodule contains an executable post-checkout hook, the script may be unintentionally executed after checkout. This vulnerability is fixed in v2.43.7, v2.44.4, v2.45.4, v2.46.4, v2.47.3, v2.48.2, v2.49.1, and v2.50.1.

## Affected

- `git < 2.43.7`
- `git >= 2.44.0, < 2.44.4`
- `git >= 2.45.0, < 2.45.4`
- `git >= 2.46.0, < 2.46.4`
- `git >= 2.47.0, < 2.47.3`
- `git >= 2.48.0, < 2.48.2`
- `git >= 2.49.0, < 2.49.1`
- `git >= 2.50.0, < 2.50.1`
- `debian_linux = 11.0`
- `xcode < 26.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `git 2.50.1`
- `xcode 26.0`
