Git patches integer truncation in recursive clone

Git fixed an integer truncation flaw in its index handling that allows malicious repositories to execute arbitrary code when cloned recursively with submodules. The vulnerability, CVE-2026-111760, was patched in Git 2.56.1 and backported to versions 2.50.2 through 2.55.1. Users should update immediately to prevent code execution during repository cloning.
