Debian Linux Security Advisory 1841-1

Debian Security Advisory 1841-1 – It was discovered that git-daemon which is part of git-core, a popular distributed revision control system, is vulnerable to denial of service attacks caused by a programming mistake in handling requests containing extra unrecognized arguments which results in an infinite loop. While this is no problem for the daemon itself as every request will spawn a new git-daemon instance, this still results in a very high CPU consumption and might lead to denial of service conditions.
