An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description

This update for dosbox fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

- CVE-2019-7165: Fixed that a very long line inside a bat file would

overflow the parsing buffer (bnc#1140254).

- CVE-2019-12594: Added a basic permission system so that a program

running inside DOSBox can't access the contents of /proc (e.g.

/proc/self/mem) when / or /proc were (to be) mounted (bnc#1140254).

- Several other fixes for out of bounds access and buffer overflows.
