Description Victor Pereira 2016-03-30 10:03:55 UTC 
rh#1322266

Mercurial prior to 3.7.3 allowed URLs for Git subrepos that could result in arbitrary code execution on clone. This is a further side-effect of Git CVE-2015-7545.

Do we have a bug reproducer?  The fixed packages are ready, but untested.

Technically there is code that tests for the problem within the commit itself (https://selenic.com/repo/hg-stable/rev/34d43cb85de8 )
