New mercurial packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues. . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] mercurial (SSA:2017-223-03) New mercurial packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/mercurial-4.3.1-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. Fixes security issues: Mercurial's symlink auditing was incomplete prior to 4.3, and could be abused to write to files outside the repository. Mercurial was not sanitizing hostnames passed to ssh, allowing shell injection attacks on clients by specifying a hostname starting with -oProxyCommand.
