[Cucumber-linux-security] git (security update is available)

[Scott C. <sc...@cu...>]

  Update Information

A security update is available for git for the following versions of
Cucumber Linux:

  * 1.0
  * 1.1

Here are the details from the Cucumber 1.1 changelog:

+----------------+
Wed May 30 17:30:33 EDT 2018
dev-general/git upgraded from 2.10.5 to 2.13.7 to fix two security
	vulnerabilities: CVE-2018-11235 and CVE-2018-11233. CVE-2018-11235
	allowed for arbitrary code execution by a remote attacker when cloning
	a malicious git repository. CVE-2018-11233 allowed for an out of bounds
	read, resulting in an arbitrary memory read, when using git on an NTFS
	filesystem. We have upgraded only to version 2.13.7 of git because that
	is the oldest branch that the fixes are available for. Upgrading to a
	newer branch has the potential to break more stuff, so we will make as
	small a version jump as possible. For more information see:
