Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882481
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for emacs-mercurial CESA-2016:0706 centos7
Summary:Check the version of emacs-mercurial
Description:Summary:
Check the version of emacs-mercurial

Vulnerability Insight:
Mercurial is a fast, lightweight source
control management system designed for efficient handling of very large
distributed projects.

Security Fix(es):

* It was discovered that Mercurial failed to properly check Git
sub-repository URLs. A Mercurial repository that includes a Git
sub-repository with a specially crafted URL could cause Mercurial to
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3068)

* It was discovered that the Mercurial convert extension failed to sanitize
special characters in Git repository names. A Git repository with a
specially crafted name could cause Mercurial to execute arbitrary code when
the Git repository was converted to a Mercurial repository. (CVE-2016-3069)

Red Hat would like to thank Blake Burkhart for reporting these issues.

Affected Software/OS:
emacs-mercurial on CentOS 7

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.

CVSS Score:
