Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in git-core, the core of the git distributed revision control system. Improper path length limitations in git’s diff and grep functions, in combination with maliciously crafted repositories or changes, could enable a stack-based buffer overflow and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies this vulnerability as CVE-2008-3546.
