NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream zsh package and not the zsh package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in zsh before 5.6. The beginning of a #! script file was mishandled, potentially leading to an execve call to a program named on the second line.
