Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Dulwich, a Python implementation of the file formats and protocols used by the Git version control system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2014-9706 It was discovered that Dulwich allows writing to files under .git/ when checking out working trees. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running an application based on Dulwich. CVE-2015-0838 Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team has found a buffer overflow in the C implementation of the apply_delta function, used when accessing Git objects in pack files.
