Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1005-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'mercurial' package(s) announced via the DLA-1005-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'mercurial' package(s) announced via the DLA-1005-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: In Mercurial before 4.1.3, 'hg serve --stdio' allows remote authenticated users to launch the Python debugger, and consequently execute arbitrary code, by using --debugger as a repository name. For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.2-4+deb7u4. We recommend that you upgrade your mercurial packages.
