[slackware-security]  git (SSA:2018-283-01)

New git packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/git-2.14.5-i586-1_slack14.2.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes a security issue:
  Submodules' "URL"s come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we
  blindly gave it to "git clone" to clone submodules when "git clone
  --recurse-submodules" was used to clone a project that has such a
  submodule. The code has been hardened to reject such malformed URLs
  (e.g. one that begins with a dash). Credit for finding and fixing this
  vulnerability goes to joernchen and Jeff King, respectively.
  For more information, see:

  (* Security fix *)
