Created mercurial tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1594088]

Comment 3 Doran Moppert 2018-07-27 00:51:23 EDT

This is related to CVE-2018-13346: this issue is writing before the output buffer, where the other reads past the end of input.  In mercurial 2.6.2, it is present in the apply() function.
