DEBIAN-CVE-2017-17458 PUBLISHED CVSS 9.800000190734863 CRITICAL

In Mercurial before 4.4.1, it is possible that a specially malformed repository can cause Git subrepositories to run arbitrary code in the form of a .git/hooks/post-update script checked into the repository. Typical use of Mercurial prevents construction of such repositories, but they can be created programmatically.
