Subject: Git vulnerability: update your clients!

In case you have not heard yet:

A few days ago, the Git project has announced a security vulnerability: there is a security issue in recursively cloning submodules that can lead to arbitrary code execution.

All git clients on Unix platforms (including Linux and macOS) are vulnerable, including git running in a Linux distribution inside Windows Subsystem for Linux. Git on Cygwin is also vulnerable.

Git for Windows and Visual Studio 2017 are not affected.

Fixes have been posted; Linux distributions have updated packages.
Please update your clients.

Happy cloning,
~Ralph
