Descriptions
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.
En Mercurial, en versiones anteriores a la 4.1.3, \"hg serve --stdio\" permite que usuarios autenticados remotos inicien el depurador de Python y, como consecuencia, ejecuten código arbitrario utilizando --debugger como nombre del repositorio.
A flaw was found in the way "hg serve --stdio" command in Mercurial handled command-line options. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the Mercurial server by using specially crafted command-line options.
