Internal analysis revealed two out-of-bounds array accesses in the bash
parser.  This was also independently and privately reported by Todd
Sabin <tsabin () optonline net>.

Have these been reported upstream?

What's the oldest version of bash affected by them?

Your reproducers didn't trigger any obvious misbehavior here with 3.1.8
with lots of unrelated patches.  Of course, this does not mean much, but
maybe these issues are in fact 3.2+?
