Two issues have been fixed in bash, the GNU Bourne-Again Shell:

CVE-2016-9401

The popd builtin segfaulted when called with negative out of range
offsets.

CVE-2019-9924

Sylvain Beucler discovered that it was possible to call commands
that contained a slash when in restricted mode (rbash) by adding
them to the BASH_CMDS array.


For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 4.2+dfsg-0.1+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your bash packages.
