Upstream update including security & bug fixes as well as feature enhancements.

From the upstream release notes:

CVE-2022-39253

When relying on the –local clone optimization, Git dereferences
symbolic links in the source repository before creating hardlinks
(or copies) of the dereferenced link in the destination repository.
This can lead to surprising behavior where arbitrary files are
present in a repository’s $GIT_DIR when cloning from a malicious
repository.

Git will no longer dereference symbolic links via the –local
clone mechanism, and will instead refuse to clone repositories that
have symbolic links present in the $GIT_DIR/objects directory.

Additionally, the value of protocol.file.allow is changed to be
“user” by default.

CVE-2022-39260

An overly-long command string given to git shell can result in
overflow in split_cmdline(), leading to arbitrary heap writes and
remote code execution when git shell is exposed and the directory
$HOME/git-shell-commands exists.

git shell is taught to refuse interactive commands that are
longer than 4MiB in size. split_cmdline() is hardened to reject
inputs larger than 2GiB.

New Prestige Ransomware Targets Ukraine and Poland

Read Time:1 Minute, 11 Second

FortiGuard Labs is aware of a report that a new ransomware strain called Prestige was being distributed in an attack campaign targeting Ukraine and Poland. The ransomware encrypts files on a compromised machine and adds a “.enc” file extension to the affected files.Why is this Significant?This is significant because Prestige ransomware is one of the few ransomware strains being distributed to Ukraine, as well as Poland, who is a known ally of Ukraine.How Widespread is the Attack?According to Microsoft, Prestige ransomware was distributed to organizations in Ukraine and Poland.What is Prestige Ransomware?Prestige ransomware encrypts files on a compromised machine and adds a “.enc” file extension to the affected files.The ransomware leaves a ransom note in “README”, which asks the victim to contact the attacker by sending an email to the address for file decryption. The ransom note also has an unique ID, which acts as a victim identifier. It also deletes the shadow copies via vssadmin, which inhibits the victim’s ability to recover files.How was Prestige Ransomware Distributed?While the infection vector has not been identified, Microsoft reported that the attacker used several legitimate Windows and open-source tools for remote code execution, privilege execution and credential exfiltration prior to the ransomware deployment.What is the Status of Protection?FortiGuard Labs detects an available Prestige ransomware sample with the following AV coverage:• W32/Filecoder.OMM!tr.ransom
