gix-transport code execution vulnerability
The `gix-transport` crate prior to the patched version 0.36.1 would allow attackers to use malicious ssh clone URLs to pass arbitrary arguments to the `ssh` program, leading to arbitrary code execution. PoC: `gix clone 'ssh://-oProxyCommand=open$IFS-aCalculator/foo'` This will launch a calculator on OSX. See https://secure.phabricator.com/T12961 for more details on similar vulnerabilities in `git`.
