The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - mercurial: arbitrary command execution in mercurial repo with a git submodule (CVE-2017-17458)

  - The _validaterepo function in sshpeer in Mercurial before 3.2.4 allows remote attackers to execute     arbitrary commands via a crafted repository name in a clone command. (CVE-2014-9462)

  - The convert extension in Mercurial before 3.8 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary     code via a crafted git repository name. (CVE-2016-3105)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The version of Atlassian SourceTree installed on the remote Windows host is a version 0.5.1.0 prior to 2.4.7.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the version of the mercurial package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - 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.(CVE-2017-17458)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

This update for mercurial fixes the following issue :

  - CVE-2017-17458: A specially malformed repository may     have caused Git subrepositories to run arbitrary code     (bsc#1071715)

A vulnerability was found in the Mercurial version control system which could lead to remote arbitrary code execution.

CVE-2017-17458

A specially malformed Mercurial repository could cause Git subrepositories to run arbitrary code in the form of a .git/hooks/post-update script checked into the parent repository.
Typical use of Mercurial prevents construction of such repositories, but they can be created programmatically.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.2-4+deb7u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - mercurial: arbitrary command execution in mercurial repo with a git submodule (CVE-2017-17458)

  - mercurial: Buffer underflow in mpatch.c:mpatch_apply() (CVE-2018-13347)

  - Mercurial before 1.6.4 fails to verify the Common Name field of SSL certificates which allows remote     attackers who acquire a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority to perform a man-in-the-middle     attack. (CVE-2010-4237)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The fix for arbitrary code execution documented in CVE-2017-17458 was incomplete in the previous upload. A more exhaustive change was implemented upstream and completely disables non-Mercurial subrepositories unless users changed the subrepos.allowed setting.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.2-2+deb8u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in mercurial, an easy-to-use, scalable distributed version control system.

CVE-2017-17458

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.

CVE-2018-13346

The mpatch_apply function in mpatch.c in Mercurial before 4.6.1 incorrectly proceeds in cases where the fragment start is past the end of the original data.

CVE-2018-13347

mpatch.c in Mercurial before 4.6.1 mishandles integer addition and subtraction.

CVE-2018-13348

The mpatch_decode function in mpatch.c in Mercurial before 4.6.1 mishandles certain situations where there should be at least 12 bytes remaining after the current position in the patch data, but actually are not.

CVE-2018-1000132

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.

CVE-2019-3902

Symbolic links and subrepositories could be used defeat Mercurial's path-checking logic and write files outside the repository root.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.0-1+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.
