Bug description:
  From the upstream announcement[1]:

  
  This is a security-fix for CVE-2014-9390, which affects users on
  Windows and Mac OS X but not typical UNIX users.  A set of new
  releases for older maintenance tracks (v1.8.5.6, v1.9.5, v2.0.5, and
  v2.1.4) are published at the same time and they contain the same fix.
  Various implementations and ports, including Git for Windows, Git OS
  X installer, JGit & EGit, libgit2 (and Visual Studio which uses it)
  have been updated at the same time.

  Even though the issue may not affect Linux users, if you are a
  hosting service whose users may fetch from your service to Windows
  or Mac OS X machines, you are strongly encouraged to update to
  protect such users who use existing versions of Git.

  This issue also affects hg[2].
