CVE-2020-11008

Today, the Git project released v2.26.2 (and corresponding point
releases as far back as the v2.17.x track) to address the following
issue:

  * CVE-2020-11008:
    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).

    The attack has been made impossible by refusing to work with
    under-specified credential patterns.

The tests seem to be dependent on hard disk speed. Since I have an HDD on this system, and not an SSD (I've filled all of mine up with previous builds all the way back to 8.3), the tests ran much slower on my system.
