Maintenance releases are already out for current Git versions.
My question is: When can we expect an update to the Cygwin git package
to address these concerns?
I'm aware of the vulnerability and intend to publish a new package as
soon as possible. A combination of the holiday period, technical
problems and assorted other real life is making this more difficult than
I would like, but I expect to get it released by 11 January at the
absolute latest, and hopefully much sooner than that.
Meanwhile, if you're concerned, I found that the latest git from github
built and installed (to /usr/local/bin, etc.) quite easily.
