Note that I said Ubuntu's git package was updated, but didn't say to what version. Ubuntu like most stable distributions cherry-pick security fixes rather than bump major versions, so Ubuntu users will get a version with these vulnerabilities patched but not necessarily a bump up to 2.39.1. See https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-5810-1 for details.
