Hi, Taylor Blau brought this to the distros list a week ago (thanks!), but unfortunately failed to follow the distros list policy (despite of being specifically informed of that requirement by distros list members, twice) to post the information to oss-security on the public disclosure date/time. So as list admin, after a delay of more than a day, I am taking over and do this (being unhappy that I have to do it for others).
My sincerest apologies for not sending this to oss-security in the appropriate time. We (the git-security) list had discussed that I would do so, and clearly it had slipped my mind. The remainder of Alexander's guidance is correct from our perspective. I'll make sure to avoid this mishap in the future by remembering to email this list more promptly. Thanks, and sorry again.
Quoting Taylor's original notification to distros: [snip]
Thanks, Taylor
