CVE-2016-3069 
Blake Burkhart discovered that Mercurial allows arbitrary code
execution when converting Git repositories with specially

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.");
