Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-2926-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'zsh' package(s) announced via the DLA-2926-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'zsh' package(s) announced via the DLA-2926-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that zsh, a powerful shell and scripting language, did not prevent recursive prompt expansion. This would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands into a user's shell, for instance by tricking a vcs_info user into checking out a git branch with a specially crafted name.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 5.3.1-4+deb9u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your zsh packages.

For the detailed security status of zsh please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references]
