https://github.com/blog/1938-git-client-vulnerability-announced

(Where I heard about it (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/232813/Heads_up_GitHub_has_a_security_vulnerability_in_its_client.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GamasutraNews+%28Gamasutra+News%29))


Just saw this and wanted to get the word out quickly as possible to the coders on here as I recall some of you use GitHub. Thanks and sorry to barge in (this seemed a good place to put it; If there's anywhere better do let me know and pass it on.).

No need to apologise! It's great to spread the word about vulnerabilities like this  :yes:

Man, I've been using github for about 3 years and I didn't even knew it had its own client GUI :P

Well, time to update git I guess. Thank you very much.

I'm unclear on whether this affects only their own git client or all git clients.

All clients.
