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

Security Fix(es):

  • A flaw was found in the way “hg serve --stdio” command in Mercurial handled command-line options. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the Mercurial server by using specially crafted command-line options. (CVE-2017-9462)
