More information:

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

  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

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 0.74-4+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your dosbox packages.
