-Git v2.17.5 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-This release is to address a security issue: CVE-2020-11008
-
-Fixes since v2.17.4
--------------------
-
- * With a crafted URL that contains a newline or empty host, or lacks
-   a scheme, the credential helper machinery can be fooled into
-   providing credential information that is not appropriate for the
-   protocol in use and host being contacted.
-
-   Unlike the vulnerability CVE-2020-5260 fixed in v2.17.4, the
-   credentials are not for a host of the attacker's choosing; instead,
-   they are for some unspecified host (based on how the configured
-   credential helper handles an absent "host" parameter).
-
-   The attack has been made impossible by refusing to work with
-   under-specified credential patterns.
-
-Credit for finding the vulnerability goes to Carlo Arenas.
