+Subject: [PATCH] security/89: Partially work around CVE-2021-45444 in VCS_Info
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+This patch is a partial, VCS_Info-specific work-around for CVE-2021-45444,
+which is mitigated in the shell itself in 5.8.1 and later versions. It is
+offered for users who are concerned about an exploit but are unable to update
+their binaries to receive the complete fix.
+
+The patch works around the vulnerability by pre-escaping values substituted
+into format strings in VCS_Info. Please note that this may break some user
+configurations that rely on those values being un-escaped (which is why it was
+not included directly in 5.8.1). It may be possible to limit this breakage by
+adjusting exactly which ones are pre-escaped, but of course this may leave
+them vulnerable again.
+
+If applying the patch to the file system is inconvenient or not possible, the
+following script can be used to idempotently patch the relevant function
+running in memory (and thus must be re-run when the shell is restarted):
+
+
+# Impacted versions go from v5.0.3 to v5.8 (v5.8.1 is the first patched version)
+autoload -Uz is-at-least
+if is-at-least 5.8.1 || ! is-at-least 5.0.3; then
+ return
+fi
+
+# Quote necessary $hook_com[<field>] items just before they are used
+# in the line "VCS_INFO_hook 'post-backend'" of the VCS_INFO_formats
+# function, where <field> is:
+#
+# base: the full path of the repository's root directory.
+# base-name: the name of the repository's root directory.
+# branch: the name of the currently checked out branch.
+# revision: an identifier of the currently checked out revision.
+# subdir: the path of the current directory relative to the
+# repository's root directory.
+# misc: a string that may contain anything the vcs_info backend wants.
+#
+# This patch %-quotes these fields previous to their use in vcs_info hooks and
+# the zformat call and, eventually, when they get expanded in the prompt.
+# It's important to quote these here, and not later after hooks have modified the
+# fields, because then we could be quoting % characters from valid prompt sequences,
+# like %F{color}, %B, etc.
+#
+# 32 hook_com[subdir]="$(VCS_INFO_reposub ${hook_com[base]})"
+# 33 hook_com[subdir_orig]="${hook_com[subdir]}"
+# 34
+# 35 + for tmp in base base-name branch misc revision subdir; do
+# 36 + hook_com[$tmp]="${hook_com[$tmp]//\%/%%}"
+# 37 + done
+# 38 +
+# 39 VCS_INFO_hook 'post-backend'
+#
+# This is especially important so that no command substitution is performed
+# due to malicious input as a consequence of CVE-2021-45444, which affects
+# zsh versions from 5.0.3 to 5.8.
+#
+autoload -Uz +X regexp-replace VCS_INFO_formats
+
+# We use $tmp here because it's already a local variable in VCS_INFO_formats
+typeset PATCH='for tmp (base base-name branch misc revision subdir) hook_com[$tmp]="${hook_com[$tmp]//\%/%%}"'
+# Unique string to avoid reapplying the patch if this code gets called twice
+typeset PATCH_ID=vcs_info-patch-9b9840f2-91e5-4471-af84-9e9a0dc68c1b
+# Only patch the VCS_INFO_formats function if not already patched
+if [[ "$functions[VCS_INFO_formats]" != *$PATCH_ID* ]]; then
