Lack of data validation - Path Traversal In dulwich

Description

Dulwich from 0.24.0 before 1.2.8 contains a symlink following vulnerability in porcelain.checkout(paths=[...]) that allows attackers to write arbitrary files by abusing raw os.open without O_NOFOLLOW. Attackers can craft a repository where a worktree symlink points to .git/hooks/post-checkout, so restoring the file from a tag writes a malicious hook for code execution.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
