Debian Bug : 931222

Several security vulnerabilities were discovered in DOSBox, an
emulator for running old DOS programs.

CVE-2019-7165

A very long line inside a bat file would overflow the parsing buffer
which could be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2019-12594

Insufficient access controls inside DOSBox allowed attackers to
access resources on the host system and execute arbitrary code.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version

We recommend that you upgrade your dosbox packages.
