  control management system designed for efficient handling of very large
  distributed projects. Security Fix(es): * A vulnerability was found in the way
  Mercurial handles path auditing and caches the results. An attacker could abuse
  a repository with a series of commits mixing symlinks and regular
  files/directories to trick Mercurial into writing outside of a given repository.
  (CVE-2017-1000115) * A shell command injection flaw related to the handling of
  'ssh' URLs has been discovered in Mercurial. This can be exploited to execute
  shell commands with the privileges of the user running the Mercurial client, for
  example, when performing a 'checkout' or 'update' action on a sub-repository
  within a malicious repository or a legitimate repository containing a malicious
  commit. (CVE-2017-1000116) Red Hat would like to thank the Mercurial Security
  Team for reporting CVE-2017-1000115 and the Subversion Team for reporting
  CVE-2017-1000116.");
