Descriptions
zsh through version 5.4.2 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow in the exec.c:hashcmd() function. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service.
zsh, hasta la versión 5.4.2, es vulnerable a un desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en la función exec.c:hashcmd(). Un atacante local podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad para provocar una denegación de servicio (DoS).
The zsh shell is a command interpreter usable as an interactive login shell and as a shell script command processor. Zsh resembles the ksh shell, but includes many enhancements. Zsh supports command-line editing, built-in spelling correction, programmable command completion, shell functions, a history mechanism, and more. Issues addressed include buffer overflow and code execution vulnerabilities.
