Short explanation

Dulwich from 0.24.0 before 1.2.8 contains a symlink following vulnerability in porcelain.checkout(paths=[...]) caused by utilizing raw os.open without O_NOFOLLOW. This flaw allows attackers to write arbitrary files by exploiting a crafted repository where a worktree symlink points to .git/hooks/post-checkout for code execution.

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability can allow attackers to write arbitrary files to sensitive paths, posing high impact risks. Because it enables code execution, system integrity is severely threatened.

What should be done?

  • Follow vendor security advisories and updates
  • Update packages when official fixes are released

Chain of evidence and sources3 verified claims

Dulwich sürümleri 0.24.0'dan 1.2.8'e kadar porcelain.checkout(paths=[...]) içerisinde sembolik bağ izleme zafiyeti barındırmaktadır.

Zafiyet, raw os.open fonksiyonunun O_NOFOLLOW bayrağı olmadan kullanılmasından kaynaklanmaktadır.

Kaynaklar arasında CVSS taban puanı konusunda çelişki olup cvelist 7.3, NVD ise 7.8 puan bildirmektedir.

Show the technical text from the sources

Dulwich from 0.24.0 before 1.2.8 contains a symlink following vulnerability in porcelain.checkout(paths=[...]) that allows attackers to write arbitrary files by abusing raw os.open without O_NOFOLLOW. Attackers can craft a repository where a worktree symlink points to .git/hooks/post-checkout, so restoring the file from a tag writes a malicious hook for code execution.
