A flaw was found in Mercurial before 4.9. It was possible to use symlinks and subrepositories to defeat Mercurials path-checking logic and write files outside a repository.
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
