Several security vulnerabilities were found and corrected in zsh, a powerful shell and scripting language. Off-by-one errors, wrong parsing of shebang lines and buffer overflows may lead to unexpected behavior. A local, unprivileged user can create a specially crafted message file or directory path. If the receiving user is privileged or traverses the aforementioned path, this leads to privilege escalation.
For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 5.3.1-4+deb9u4.
We recommend that you upgrade your zsh packages.
For the detailed security status of zsh please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/zsh
