Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1072-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'mercurial' package(s) announced via the DLA-1072-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'mercurial' package(s) announced via the DLA-1072-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Two significant vulnerabilities were found in the Mercurial version control system which could lead to shell injection attacks and out-of-tree file overwrite. CVE-2017-1000115 Mercurial's symlink auditing was incomplete prior to 4.3, and could be abused to write to files outside the repository. CVE-2017-1000116 Mercurial was not sanitizing hostnames passed to ssh, allowing shell injection attacks on clients by specifying a hostname starting with -oProxyCommand. This vulnerability is similar to those in Git (CVE-2017-1000117) and Subversion (CVE-2017-9800). For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.2-4+deb7u5. We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.
