CVE-2019-1211 Git for Visual Studio Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Git for Visual Studio when it improperly parses configuration files. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code in the context of another local user. To exploit the vulnerability, an authenticated attacker would need to modify Git configuration files on a system prior to a full installation of the application. The attacker would then need to convince another user on the system to execute specific Git commands. The update addresses the issue by changing the permissions required to edit configuration files.
These are the issues addressed in 15.9.15:
- Updated signing of VC Redist packages to enable continued deployment on Windows XP. This fix may have an increased chance of requiring a reboot of the machine in order to install an updated VC++ Redistributable package.
- Fixed in issue where GoToDefinition does not work for JavaScript in script blocks of cshtml files.
- Calling pmr monotonic_buffer_resource release will corrupt memory.
- Fix for HRESULT E_FAIL build error in some C++ projects when upgrading to 15.9.13
