CHANGELOG: update for v0.27.5

parent a221f58e
v0.27.5
-------
This is a security release fixing the following list of issues:
- Submodule URLs and paths with a leading "-" are now ignored.
This is due to the recently discovered CVE-2018-17456, which
can lead to arbitrary code execution in upstream git. While
libgit2 itself is not vulnerable, it can be used to inject
options in an implementation which performs a recursive clone
by executing an external command.
- When running repack while doing repo writes,
`packfile_load__cb()` could see some temporary files in the
directory that were bigger than the usual, and makes `memcmp`
overflow on the `p->pack_name` string. This issue was reported
and fixed by bisho.
- The configuration file parser used unbounded recursion to parse
multiline variables, which could lead to a stack overflow. The
issue was reported by the oss-fuzz project, issue 10048 and
fixed by Nelson Elhage.
- The fix to the unbounded recursion introduced a memory leak in
the config parser. While this leak was never in a public
release, the oss-fuzz project reported this as issue 10127. The
fix was implemented by Nelson Elhage and Patrick Steinhardt.
- When parsing "ok" packets received via the smart protocol, our
parsing code did not correctly verify the bounds of the
packets, which could result in a heap-buffer overflow. The
issue was reported by the oss-fuzz project, issue 9749 and
fixed by Patrick Steinhardt.
- The parsing code for the smart protocol has been tightened in
general, fixing heap-buffer overflows when parsing the packet
type as well as for "ACK" and "unpack" packets. The issue was
discovered and fixed by Patrick Steinhardt.
- Fixed potential integer overflows on platforms with 16 bit
integers when parsing packets for the smart protocol. The issue
was discovered and fixed by Patrick Steinhardt.
- Fixed potential NULL pointer dereference when parsing
configuration files which have "include.path" or
"includeIf..path" statements without a value.
