Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mercurial package and not the mercurial package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

The mpatch_decode function in mpatch.c in Mercurial before 4.6.1 mishandles certain situations where there should be at least 12 bytes remaining after the current position in the patch data, but actually are not, aka OVE-20180430-0001.
