CVE-2013-4451
gitolite commit fa06a34 through 3.5.3 might allow attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors involving world-writable permissions when creating (1) ~/.gitolite.rc, (2) ~/.gitolite, or (3) ~/repositories/gitolite-admin.git on fresh installs.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.08%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
