Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

gix-ref before 0.44.0 on Windows accesses devices when refs or paths use legacy device names such as CON or COM1. A malicious repository cloned on Windows can cause a hang while waiting for console input, or print attacker-chosen text that looks like application output. Upgrade to gix-ref 0.44.0 or later.
