Description Victor Pereira 2017-06-07 07:29:07 UTC

CVE-2017-9462

In Mercurial before 4.1.3, "hg serve --stdio" allows remote authenticated users
to launch the Python debugger, and consequently execute arbitrary code, by using
--debugger as a repository name.

Comment 1 Takashi Iwai 2017-06-07 14:35:37 UTC

The fix is submitted to SLE11-SP3, SLE12, and openSUSE Leap 42.2.
Leap 42.3 and TW have the newer version that already contains the fix.

Comment 2 Takashi Iwai 2017-06-07 15:07:06 UTC

Is the fix for SUSE:SLE-11:Update still necessary?
Otherwise all fixes have been done.
