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-IMPORT-DSCS(1)					      git-buildpackage Manual						GIT-IMPORT-DSCS(1)

NAME

       git-import-dscs - Import multiple versions of a Debian source packages into a Git repository

SYNOPSIS

       git-import-dscs [ options ] [ git-import-dsc options ] pkg_1.dsc pkg_2.dsc ...

       or

       git-import-dscs --debsnap [ options ] [ git-import-dsc options ] package

DESCRIPTION

       git-import-dscs imports several versions of a Debian source package into a Git repository. To do so it sorts the packages by their versions
       first and then imports them via calling git-import-dsc on each package.

       If the current directory isn't a Git repository already the repository is created in a subdir of the current working directory, named after
       the  first  imported  package,  otherwise  the  Git  repository in the current working directory is being used. This allows for incremental
       imports.

OPTIONS

       --debsnap
	      Fetch snapshots from snapshots.debian.org using debsnap.

       --ignore-repo-config
	      Ignore gbp.conf files stored in the git repository itself. This can be useful  to  ignore  branch  informations  and  other  options
	      shipped in the package source.

       All other options are passed on verbatim to git-import-dsc.
