## Bugfix Releases

### 2.11.12

* [Issue 10262](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=10262):
Fix validation of `wants` in `git-upload-pack` for protocol v0 stateless transports.

  See the following section for details.

* Upgrade JGit to 4.5.5.201812240535-r.

  This upgrade includes several major versions since 4.0.1 used in Gerrit
  version 2.11.11. Important fixes are summarized below. Please refer to the
  corresponding JGit release notes for full details.

  * [JGit 4.5.5](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.jgit/releases/4.5.5):

    * [Issue 10262](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=10262):
    Fix validation of `wants` in `git-upload-pack` for protocol v0 stateless transports.

      AdvertiseRefsHook was not called for `git-upload-pack` in protocol v0
      stateless transports, meaning that `wants` were not validated and
      a user could fetch anything that is pointed to by any ref (using fetch-by-sha1),
      as long as they could guess the object name.

  * [JGit 4.5.4](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.jgit/releases/4.5.4):

    * Fix LockFile semantics when running on NFS.
    * Honor trustFolderStats also when reading packed-refs.

  * [JGit 4.5.3](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.jgit/releases/4.5.3):

    * Fix exception handling for opening bitmap index files.

  * [JGit 4.5.2](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.jgit/releases/4.5.2):

    * Fix pack marked as corrupted even if it isn't.

  * [JGit 4.5.1](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.jgit/releases/4.5.2):

    * Don't remove Pack when FileNotFoundException is transient.

  * [JGit 4.1.0](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.jgit/releases/4.1.0):

    * Handle stale NFS file handles on packed-refs file.
    * Use java.io.File instead of NIO to check existence of loose objects in
    ObjectDirectory to speed up inserting of loose objects.
    * Reduce memory consumption when creating bitmaps during writing pack files.

### 2.11.11
Upgrade jsch from 0.1.51 to 0.1.54 to get security fixes:
* [CVE-2015-4000](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2015-4000): Weak Diffie-Hellman
vulnerability, AKA "Logjam".
  The Logjam attack allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to downgrade vulnerable TLS
  connections to 512-bit export-grade cryptography. This allows the attacker to read
  and modify any data passed over the connection.
  On February 22, 2018, Github [removed support for weak cryptographic standards](https://githubengineering.com/crypto-removal-notice/).
  As a result of this, replication to Github over SSH no longer works with
  diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 or diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 SSH keys.
* [CVE-2016-5725](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-5725): Directory traversal
vulnerability.
  Versions of jsch prior to 0.1.54 have a directory traversal vulnerability
  on Windows. When the mode is `ChannelSftp.OVERWRITE`, it allows remote SFTP
  servers to write to arbitrary files via a `..\` (dot dot backslash) in a
  response to a recursive `GET` command.
For other fixes in jsch since 0.1.51, please refer to the
[jsch change log](http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/ChangeLog).
