[Bug 1774061] Re: git: CVE-2018-11235 arbitary code execution via submodule names in .gitmodules

[Jan Bauer]

The Ubuntu repo still provides the outdated git version 2.7.4.

This could be checked by running:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-cache policy git

This should be fixed with high priority.
