Dear Git Development team

Hi. Recently, I noted that the vulnerability patch (CVE-2020-5260) for "git credential" is not applied in the "git-credential-libsecret" program (./contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret.c).

Actually, I'm not sure whether "git-credential-libsecret" is actually used. But it can be potentially intimidating, thus it would be good to apply the same patch of "git credential" to "git-credential-libsecret".

- Patch for CVE-2020-5260
   * https://github.com/git/git/commit/9a6bbee8006c24b46a85d29e7b38cfa79e9ab21b

- Similar but not patched code in "git-credential-libsecret"
   * https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret.c#L306-L311
   * When I put the malicious URL in the test code shown in the
CVE-2020-5260 patch into "git-credential-libsecret", it does not
terminate.

Could you please check whether this is an actual bug?

Thank you. Best regards, Seunghoon Woo
