Overview

mercurial is a distributed SCM tool written in Python.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound. The mpatch_decode function in mpatch.c in Mercurial mishandles certain situations where there should be at least 12 bytes remaining after the current position in the patch data, but actually are not.
