Use to use homebrew to upgrade to non-vulnerable version of git (CVE-2014-9390)

I installed git via homebrew ( brew install git

) today . He downloaded git version 2.1.2.

Downloading https://downloads.sf.net/project/machomebrew/Bottles/git-2.1.2.m

However, when I run heroku apps

I getYour version of git is 2.1.2. Which has serious security vulnerabilities.

I thought homebrew would install the latest patched version that fixes a recent git security vulnerability ( https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2014/12/24/update_your_git_clients_on_windows_and_os_x ).

Also, when I run brew update git

I getError: git-2.1.2 already installed

Any thoughts?

You need to make sure your Homebrew installation is up to date by running brew update

. This updates both the brew itself and the recipes used to install the software.
