Critical Security Patch in Git and GitKraken

▤ Summary

On 12-10-2019, Git released patch v2.24.1 to address several common vulnerabilities and exposures, or CVE. For those unfamiliar with what CVE is, it is a dictionary that provides definitions for publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures. They can affect all Git and GitKraken users, especially those that have exposure to lots of obscure public repos. Fortunately, the libgit2 team has merged in a fix for these new vulnerabilities which are included in GitKraken v6.4.0 and later. We actively monitor security channels and want to ensure our users are not prone to these vulnerabilities and exposures.
