Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1068-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'git' package(s) announced via the DLA-1068-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'git' package(s) announced via the DLA-1068-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Joern Schneeweisz discovered that git, a distributed revision control system, did not correctly handle maliciously constructed ssh:// URLs. This allowed an attacker to run an arbitrary shell command, for instance via git submodules.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.7.10.4-1+wheezy5.

We recommend that you upgrade your git packages.
