The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'mercurial' package(s) announced via the DSA-3542-1 advisory. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mercurial, a distributed version control system allowing arbitrary code execution due to URLs for Git subrepositories and during conversion of Git repositories with specially crafted names. Vulnerabilities are fixed in versions 2.2.2-4+deb7u2, 3.1.2-2+deb8u2, and 3.7.3-1 for Debian 7, 8, and sid, respectively

CVE-2016-3068

Blake Burkhart discovered that Mercurial allows URLs for Git subrepositories that could result in arbitrary code execution on clone.

CVE-2016-3069

Blake Burkhart discovered that Mercurial allows arbitrary code execution when converting Git repositories with specially crafted names.

CVE-2016-3630

It was discovered that Mercurial does not properly perform bounds-checking in its binary delta decoder, which may be exploitable for remote code execution via clone, push or pull.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.2-4+deb7u2.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.2-2+deb8u2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 3.7.3-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.");
