   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

   This update for git-lfs fixes the following issues:

   Update to 3.6.1: (boo#1235876):

     This release introduces a security fix for all platforms, which has been
   assigned CVE-2024-53263.

     When requesting credentials from Git for a remote host, prior versions
   of Git LFS passed portions of the host's URL to the git-credential(1)
   command without checking for embedded line-ending control characters, and
   then sent any credentials received back from the Git credential helper to
   the remote host. By inserting URL-encoded control characters such as line
   feed (LF) or carriage return (CR) characters into the URL, an attacker
   might have been able to retrieve a user's Git credentials. Git LFS now
   prevents bare line feed (LF) characters from being included in the values
   sent to the git-credential(1) command, and also prevents bare carriage
   return (CR) characters from being included unless the
   credential.protectProtocol configuration
     option is set to a value equivalent to false.
