I don’t see one that is available for our Mac Clients - is there a more recent one that I can download that is available to patch the 2.17.0 version? Thank you, Erika ``` ## Randall S.

Do you have a reference, CVE number, or other information about this vulnerability?

The binary installs for MacOS are done by a third party, and sometimes lag the source releases. You can build it from source yourself, either from a tarball: https://git.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.17.1.tar.gz or by cloning with git: https://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git There are some instructions in the INSTALL file, which you can also read online: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/INSTALL You can also use Homebrew to install, which usually updates to new versions pretty promptly: https://brew.sh/ -Peff ```
