Description

Git before 2.19.2 on Linux and UNIX executes commands from the current working directory (as if '.' were at the end of $PATH) in certain cases involving the run_command() API and run-command.c, because there was a dangerous change from execvp to execv during 2017.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 2.19.2
Affected range stops below 2.19.2, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
linux-linux-kernel (environment)

Runs on — not affected

The affected product only carries this flaw when running on these platforms. The platforms themselves are not vulnerable.
