Hello,

Mercurial 3.7.3 has been released[1], fixing several security issues allowing remote code execution:

* CVE-2016-3630 Mercurial: remote code execution in binary delta decoding

Mercurial prior to 3.7.3 contained two bounds-checking errors in its binary delta decoder that may be exploitable via clone, push, or pull.

* CVE-2016-3068 Mercurial: arbitrary code execution with Git subrepos

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. Reported by Blake Burkhart.

* CVE-2016-3069 Mercurial: arbitrary code execution when converting Git repos

Mercurial prior to 3.7.3 allowed arbitrary code execution when converting Git repos with hostile names. This could affect automated conversion services. Reported by Blake Burkhart.
