+Git v2.30.6 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+This release addresses the security issues CVE-2022-39253 and
+CVE-2022-39260.
+
+Fixes since v2.30.5
+-------------------
+
+ * CVE-2022-39253:
+ When relying on the `--local` clone optimization, Git dereferences
+ symbolic links in the source repository before creating hardlinks
+ (or copies) of the dereferenced link in the destination repository.
+ This can lead to surprising behavior where arbitrary files are
+ present in a repository's `$GIT_DIR` when cloning from a malicious
+ repository.
+
+ Git will no longer dereference symbolic links via the `--local`
+ clone mechanism, and will instead refuse to clone repositories that
+ have symbolic links present in the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory.
+
+ Additionally, the value of `protocol.file.allow` is changed to be
+ "user" by default.
+
+ * CVE-2022-39260:
+ An overly-long command string given to `git shell` can result in
+ overflow in `split_cmdline()`, leading to arbitrary heap writes and
+ remote code execution when `git shell` is exposed and the directory
+ `$HOME/git-shell-commands` exists.
+
+ `git shell` is taught to refuse interactive commands that are
+ longer than 4MiB in size. `split_cmdline()` is hardened to reject
+ inputs larger than 2GiB.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2022-39253 goes to Cory Snider of Mirantis. The
+fix was authored by Taylor Blau, with help from Johannes Schindelin.
