Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

libgit2是Libgit2团队开源的一款可嵌入的Git版本控制库。 libgit2 1.8.6之前版本和1.9.0至1.9.5之前版本存在路径遍历漏洞，该漏洞源于未正确过滤从.gitmodules加载的子模块路径中的遍历组件，可能导致应用程序初始化子模块时在仓库工作树之外创建目录。

Vulnerability Title
libgit2: Submodule path traversal
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
libgit2 is a portable C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a linkable library with a solid API, allowing to build Git functionality into your application. Prior to 1.8.6 and 1.9.5, libgit2 does not reject traversal components in a submodule path loaded from .gitmodules. The affected src/libgit2/submodule.c paths include git_submodule_lookup and git_submodule_add_setup. A crafted repository can specify a path such as ../escape-target, and applications that initialize the submodule can create directories outside the repository working tree. This issue is fixed in versions 1.8.6 and 1.9.5.
