The vulnerability is caused due to an infinite loop when parsing certain additional request parameters. This can be exploited to cause a high CPU load by sending specially crafted requests to an affected git-daemon. The vulnerability is reported in versions 1.4.4.5 through 1.6.3.2. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Fixed in the Git repository. http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=commitdiff;h=73bb33a9 PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Shawn O.
