Package : mercurial
Version : 2.2.2-4+deb7u7
CVE ID : CVE-2018-1000132
Debian Bug : 892964
Mercurial version 4.5 and earlier contains a Incorrect Access Control
(CWE-285) vulnerability in Protocol server that can result in
Unauthorized data access. This attack appear to be exploitable via
network connectivity. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in
4.5.1.
This update also fixes a regression inroduced in 2.2.2-4+deb7u5 which
makes the testsuite fail non-deterministically.
For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
2.2.2-4+deb7u7.
We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.
