CVE-2017-17458 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2017-17458):
  In Mercurial before 4.4.1, it is possible that a specially malformed
  repository can cause Git subrepositories to run arbitrary code in the form
  of a .git/hooks/post-update script checked into the repository. Typical use
  of Mercurial prevents construction of such repositories, but they can be
  created programmatically.
