+**git-2.17.5**:  Upgraded.
+This update fixes a security issue:
+With a crafted URL that contains a newline or empty host, or lacks
+a scheme, the credential helper machinery can be fooled into
+providing credential information that is not appropriate for the
+protocol in use and host being contacted.
+Unlike the vulnerability CVE-2020-5260 fixed in v2.17.4, the
+credentials are not for a host of the attacker's choosing; instead,
+they are for some unspecified host (based on how the configured
+credential helper handles an absent "host" parameter).
+For more information, see:
+  * https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-11008
