CVE-2008-4297

Publication date 27 September 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024


Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

Mercurial before 1.0.2 does not enforce the allowpull permission setting for a pull operation from hgweb, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files from a repository via an "hg pull" request.
