{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53584","details":"libgit2 is a portable C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a linkable library with a solid API, allowing to build Git functionality into your application. Prior to 1.8.6 and 1.9.5, libgit2 does not reject traversal components in a submodule path loaded from .gitmodules. The affected src/libgit2/submodule.c paths include git_submodule_lookup and git_submodule_add_setup. A crafted repository can specify a path such as ../escape-target, and applications that initialize the submodule can create directories outside the repository working tree. This issue is fixed in versions 1.8.6 and 1.9.5.","modified":"2026-09-24T02:01:50.003261862Z","published":"2026-07-31T00:00:00Z","related":["USN-8628-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2026-53584"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-53584"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-53584"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/security/advisories/GHSA-cw77-j82w-mchm"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8628-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libgit2","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/libgit2?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy%2Ftrusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.19.0-2","0.19.0-2ubuntu0.4","0.19.0-2ubuntu0.4+esm1","0.19.0-2ubuntu0.4+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.19.0-2ubuntu0.4+esm2","binary_name":"libgit2-0"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53584.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libgit2","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/libgit2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps-legacy%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.22.2-2","0.23.1-1","0.24.1-2","0.24.1-2ubuntu0.2","0.24.1-2ubuntu0.2+esm1","0.24.1-2ubuntu0.2+esm2","0.24.1-2ubuntu0.2+esm3","0.24.1-2ubuntu0.2+esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libgit2-24","binary_version":"0.24.1-2ubuntu0.2+esm4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53584.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libgit2","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/libgit2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.25.1+really0.24.6-1","0.26.0+dfsg.1-1.1","0.26.0+dfsg.1-1.1build1","0.26.0+dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu0.2","0.26.0+dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu0.2+esm1","0.26.0+dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu0.2+esm2","0.26.0+dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu0.2+esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.26.0+dfsg.1-1.1ubuntu0.2+esm3","binary_name":"libgit2-26"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53584.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libgit2","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/libgit2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.28.4+dfsg.1-2ubuntu0.1+esm1"}]}],"versions":["0.27.7+dfsg.1-0.2build1","0.28.3+dfsg.1-1","0.28.3+dfsg.1-1ubuntu1","0.28.4+dfsg.1-2","0.28.4+dfsg.1-2ubuntu0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libgit2-28","binary_version":"0.28.4+dfsg.1-2ubuntu0.1+esm1"}],"availability":"Available
