2 low-priority security issues in trixie low

There are 2 open security issues in trixie.

2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2026-44309: (needs triaging) Gitsign is a keyless Sigstore to signing tool for Git commits with your a GitHub / OIDC identity. Prior to 0.16.0, gitsign verify and gitsign verify-tag re-encode commit/tag objects through go-git's EncodeWithoutSignature before checking the signature, instead of verifying against the raw git object bytes. For malformed objects with duplicate tree headers, git-core and go-git parse different trees: git-core uses the first, go-git uses the second. A signature crafted over the go-git-normalized form (second tree) passes gitsign verify while git-core resolves the commit to a completely different tree. This breaks the invariant that a verified signature, the commit semantics git-core presents to users, and the object hash logged in Rekor all refer to the same content. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.0.
  • CVE-2026-44310: (needs triaging) Gitsign is a keyless Sigstore to signing tool for Git commits with your a GitHub / OIDC identity. From 0.4.0 to before 0.15.0, CertVerifier.Verify() in pkg/git/verifier.go unconditionally dereferences certs[0] after sd.GetCertificates() without checking the slice length. A CMS/PKCS7 signed message with an empty certificate set is a structurally valid DER payload; GetCertificates() returns an empty slice with no error, causing an immediate index-out-of-range panic. On the gitsign --verify code path (the GPG-compatible mode invoked by git verify-commit), the panic is silently recovered by internal/io/streams.go's Wrap() function, which returns nil instead of an error. main.go then exits with code 0, causing exit-code-only verification callers to interpret the failed verification as success. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.15.0.

You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.

testing migrations
  • excuses:
    • Migrates after: golang-github-go-git-go-billy, golang-github-smallstep-crypto, golang-golang-x-net
    • Migration status for gitsign (0.16.1-2 to 0.16.1-3): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
    • Issues preventing migration:
    • ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for gitsign/0.16.1-3: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Test triggered, loong64: Test triggered, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Test triggered

    • ∙ ∙ Too young, only 2 of 5 days old
    • ∙ ∙ Built-Using: gitsign golang-github-go-git-go-billy
    • ∙ ∙ Built-Using: gitsign golang-github-smallstep-crypto
