3. Description:

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 (the
Korn shell), but includes many enhancements. Zsh supports command-line
editing, built-in spelling correction, programmable command completion,
shell functions (with autoloading), a history mechanism, and more.

Security Fix(es):

* zsh: Stack-based buffer overflow in gen_matches_files() at compctl.c
(CVE-2018-1083)

* zsh: buffer overflow for very long fds in >& fd syntax (CVE-2014-10071)

* zsh: buffer overflow when scanning very long directory paths for symbolic
links (CVE-2014-10072)

* zsh: NULL dereference in cd in sh compatibility mode under given
circumstances (CVE-2017-18205)

* zsh: buffer overrun in symlinks (CVE-2017-18206)

* zsh: Stack-based buffer overflow in exec.c:hashcmd() (CVE-2018-1071)

* zsh: buffer overflow in utils.c:checkmailpath() can lead to local
arbitrary code execution (CVE-2018-1100)

* zsh: crash on copying empty hash table (CVE-2018-7549)
