Description

A credential handling flaw has been discovered in git. The wincred credential helper uses a static buffer (target) as a unique key for storing and comparing against internal storage. This credential helper does not properly bounds check the available space remaining in the buffer before appending to it with wcsncat(), which can lead to buffer overflows.
