It was discovered that gitweb, the web interface for the Git version control system, contained several vulnerabilities :

Remote attackers could use crafted requests to execute shell commands on the web server, using the snapshot generation and pickaxe search functionality (CVE-2008-5916 ).

Local users with write access to the configuration of a Git repository served by gitweb could cause gitweb to execute arbitrary shell commands with the permission of the web server (CVE-2008-5516, CVE-2008-5517 ).
