    Synopsis
    ========

    A vulnerability has been discovered in GitPython where crafted input to Repo.clone_from can lead to code execution

    Background
    ==========

    GitPython is a Python library used to interact with Git repositories.

    Affected packages
    =================

    Package Vulnerable Unaffected
    -------------------- ------------ ------------
    dev-python/GitPython < 3.1.30 >= 3.1.30

    Description
    ===========

    Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details.

    Impact
    ======

    An attacker may be able to trigger Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to
    improper user input validation, which makes it possible to inject a
    maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to
    git without sufficient sanitization of input arguments.

    Workaround
    ==========

    There is no known workaround at this time.

    Resolution
    ==========

    All GitPython users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/GitPython-3.1.30"
