   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

   This update for mercurial fixes the following issues:

   - 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.
