"Two significant vulnerabilities were found in the Mercurial version
control system which could lead to shell injection attacks and
out-of-tree file overwrite.

CVE-2017-1000115

Mercurial's symlink auditing was incomplete prior to 4.3, and could be
abused to write to files outside the repository.

CVE-2017-1000116

Mercurial was not sanitizing hostnames passed to ssh, allowing shell
injection attacks on clients by specifying a hostname starting with
-oProxyCommand. This vulnerability is similar to those in Git
(CVE-2017-1000117) and Subversion (CVE-2017-9800).

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
2.2.2-4+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.

block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
