Update git because of CVE-2022-23521

Asked by Jan Bauer

Please provide the latest git for Ubuntu LTS (18, 20 and 22)

The current version appears to be 2.39.1. The versions available from apt seem to be pretty old. We still have some systems with Ubuntu 18 LTS, and I see 2.17.1 there after running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

18.04 is the LTS version, not 18.

Ubuntu 18.04 is only (free) supported until April this year. You may want to use this as a catalyst to upgrade.

Is there an issue in the version of git available for your release of Ubuntu? If so then I suggest you report a bug and the package may be updated sooner rather than later
