Bash Version: 5.3
Patch Level: 9
Release Status: release

Description:

bash can output non-printable characters to the terminal
(such as escape sequences) in some error messages.

This may be a security vulnerability if a user creates a file name
with malicious escape sequences in it.

Thanks for the report.
