Package        : mercurial
Version        : 3.1.2-2+deb8u6
CVE ID         : CVE-2017-17458

The fix for arbitrary code execution documented in CVE-2017-17458 was
incomplete in the previous upload. A more exhaustive change was
implemented upstream and completely disables non-Mercurial
subrepositories unless users changed the subrepos.allowed setting.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
3.1.2-2+deb8u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.

Package        : mercurial
Version        : 3.1.2-2+deb8u5
CVE ID         : CVE-2017-9462 CVE-2017-17458 CVE-2018-1000132
Debian Bug     : 861243 892964 901050

Some security vulnerabilities were found in Mercurial which allow
authenticated users to trigger arbitrary code execution and
unauthorized data access in certain server configuration. Malformed
patches and repositories can also lead to crashes and arbitrary code
execution on clients.

CVE-2017-9462

    In Mercurial before 4.1.3, "hg serve --stdio" allows remote
    authenticated users to launch the Python debugger, and
    consequently execute arbitrary code, by using --debugger as a
    repository name.

CVE-2017-17458

    In Mercurial before 4.4.1, it is possible that a specially
    malformed repository can cause Git subrepositories to run
    arbitrary code in the form of a .git/hooks/post-update script
    checked into the repository. Typical use of Mercurial prevents
    construction of such repositories, but they can be created
    programmatically.

CVE-2018-1000132

    Mercurial version 4.5 and earlier contains a Incorrect Access
    Control (CWE-285) vulnerability in Protocol server that can result
    in Unauthorized data access. This attack appear to be exploitable
    via network connectivity. This vulnerability appears to have been
    fixed in 4.5.1.

OVE-20180430-0001

    mpatch: be more careful about parsing binary patch data

OVE-20180430-0002

    mpatch: protect against underflow in mpatch_apply

OVE-20180430-0004

    mpatch: ensure fragment start isn't past the end of orig

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
3.1.2-2+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.
