[slackware-security]  git (SSA:2020-105-01)

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


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/git-2.17.4-i586-1_slack14.2.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes a security issue:
  With a crafted URL that contains a newline in it, the credential helper
  machinery can be fooled to give credential information for a wrong host.
  The attack has been made impossible by forbidding a newline character in
  any value passed via the credential protocol. Credit for finding the
  vulnerability goes to Felix Wilhelm of Google Project Zero.
  For more information, see:

  (* Security fix *)
