Did you check whether the package was affected?

I tried to checkout https://github.com/njhartwell/pw3nage while having
bash-completion loaded and with a PS1 containing $(__git_ps1 2>/dev/null)
or $(__git_ps1 " (%s)") and was unable to get any code execution.

I'm not sure when the vulnerability was introduced but it looks
like that 1.7.10.4-1+wheezy3 is not affected at least when using bash.

Can someone else double check?

For zsh, I'm not sure either. I tried to run it and to set PS1 as
documented:
PS1='[%n@%m %c$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")]\$ '

But here the $(...) part is not even replaced.

Cheers,
