DSA-3570 mercurial – security update

Blake Burkhart discovered an arbitrary code execution flaw in
Mercurial, a distributed version control system, when using the convert
extension on Git repositories with specially crafted names. This flaw in
particular affects automated code conversion services that allow
arbitrary repository names.

DSA-3568 libtasn1-6 – security update

Pascal Cuoq and Miod Vallat discovered that Libtasn1, a library to
manage ASN.1 structures, does not correctly handle certain malformed DER
certificates. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause
an application using the Libtasn1 library to hang, resulting in a denial
of service.
