File CVE-2025-27613.patch of Package git.37096

From b966b738e1923badc788b9111cc81653b50ff164 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 01/13] gitk: treat file names beginning with "|" as relative
 paths

The Tcl 'open' function has a vary wide interface. It can open files as
well as pipes to external processes. The difference is made only by the
first character of the file name: if it is "|", an process is spawned.

We have a number of calls of Tcl 'open' that take a file name from the
environment in which Gitk is running. Be prepared that insane values are
injected. In particular, when we intend to open a file, do not mistake
a file name that happens to begin with "|" as a request to run a process.
