CVE-2017-17458 severity moderate: SUSE including 13 source package names (mercurial, mercurial-2.3.2-0.18.6.1, …), 29 product×package rows across 26 product lines (SUSE CaaS Platform 4.0, SUSE Enterprise Storage 6, … (26 product lines)): Fixed 15, Known Not Affected 14.

Description:

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.
