CHANGELOG: add release notes for v0.26.5

parent 47ea1f58
v0.26.5
-------
This is a security release fixing out-of-bounds reads when
reading objects from a packfile. This corresponds to
CVE-2018-10887 and CVE-2018-10888, which were both reported by
Riccardo Schirone.
When packing objects into a single so-called packfile, objects
may not get stored as complete copies but instead as deltas
against another object "base". A specially crafted delta object
could trigger an integer overflow and thus bypass our input
validation, which may result in copying memory before or after
the base object into the final deflated object. This may lead to
objects containing copies of system memory being written into the
object database. As the hash of those objects cannot be easily
controlled by the attacker, it is unlikely that any of those
objects will be valid and referenced by the commit graph.
Note that the error could also be triggered by the function
`git_apply__patch`. But as this function is not in use outside of
our test suite, it is not a possible attack vector.
v0.26.4
