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 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.7-5+deb8u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your zsh packages.
