CVE-2014-9462

Jesse Hertz of Matasano Security discovered that Mercurial, a distributed version control system, is prone to a command injection vulnerability via a crafted repository name in a clone command.

CVE-2014-9390

is a security vulnerability that affects mercurial repositories in a case-insensitive filesystem (eg. VFAT or HFS+). It allows for remote code execution of a specially crafted repository. This is less severe for the average Debian installation as they are usually set up with case-sensitive filesystems.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
