Jesse Hertz of Matasano Security discovered that Mercurial, a
distributed version control system, is prone to a command injection
vulnerability via a crafted repository name in a clone command.

CVE-2014-9390 previously scheduled for the next wheezy point release.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
