    Package : mercurial
    CVE ID : CVE-2017-9462 CVE-2017-1000115 CVE-2017-1000116
    Debian Bug : 861243 871709 871710

    Several issues were discovered in Mercurial, a distributed revision
    control system.

    CVE-2017-9462 (fixed in stretch only)

    Jonathan Claudius of Mozilla discovered that repositories served
    over stdio could be tricked into granting authorized users access to
    the Python debugger.

    CVE-2017-1000115

    Mercurial's symlink auditing was incomplete, and could be abused to
    write files outside the repository.

    CVE-2017-1000116

    Joern Schneeweisz discovered that Mercurial did not correctly handle
    maliciously constructed ssh:// URLs. This allowed an attacker to run
    an arbitrary shell command.

    For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed
    in version 3.1.2-2+deb8u4.

    For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 4.0-1+deb9u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.
