* A vulnerability was found in the way Mercurial handles path auditing and
caches the results. An attacker could abuse a repository with a series of
commits mixing symlinks and regular files/directories to trick Mercurial
into writing outside of a given repository. (CVE-2017-1000115)
* A shell command injection flaw related to the handling of "ssh" URLs has
been discovered in Mercurial. This can be exploited to execute shell
commands with the privileges of the user running the Mercurial client, for
example, when performing a "checkout" or "update" action on a sub-
repository within a malicious repository or a legitimate repository
containing a malicious commit. (CVE-2017-1000116)
