Debian: New git-core packages fix buffer overflow
LinuxSecurity.com: Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in git-core, the core of the git distributed revision control system. Improper path length limitations in git's diff and grep functions, in combination with maliciously crafted repositories or changes, could enable a stack buffer overflow and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

git-whatchanged

GIT-WHATCHANGED(1)                                                  Git Manual                                                  GIT-WHATCHANGED(1)

NAME

       git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces

SYNOPSIS

       git whatchanged <option>...

DESCRIPTION

       Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces.

       New users are encouraged to use git-log(1) instead. The whatchanged command is essentially the same as git-log(1) but defaults to show the
       raw format diff output and to skip merges.

       The command is kept primarily for historical reasons; fingers of many people who learned Git long before git log was invented by reading
       Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it.

EXAMPLES

       git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi
           Show as patches the commits since version v2.6.12 that changed any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories

       git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk
           Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file gitk. The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the branch named gitk
