+Git v2.30.8 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+This release addresses the security issues CVE-2023-22490 and
+CVE-2023-23946.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.30.7
+-------------------
+
+ * CVE-2023-22490:
+
+ Using a specially-crafted repository, Git can be tricked into using
+ its local clone optimization even when using a non-local transport.
+ Though Git will abort local clones whose source $GIT_DIR/objects
+ directory contains symbolic links (c.f., CVE-2022-39253), the objects
+ directory itself may still be a symbolic link.
+
+ These two may be combined to include arbitrary files based on known
+ paths on the victim's filesystem within the malicious repository's
+ working copy, allowing for data exfiltration in a similar manner as
+ CVE-2022-39253.
+
+ * CVE-2023-23946:
+
+ By feeding a crafted input to "git apply", a path outside the
+ working tree can be overwritten as the user who is running "git
+ apply".
+
+ * A mismatched type in `attr.c::read_attr_from_index()` which could
+ cause Git to errantly reject attributes on Windows and 32-bit Linux
+ has been corrected.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2023-22490 goes to yvvdwf, and the fix was
+developed by Taylor Blau, with additional help from others on the
+Git security mailing list.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2023-23946 goes to Joern Schneeweisz, and the
+fix was developed by Patrick Steinhardt.
