"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.

block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues.");
