Summary
Security update for patch
Details

This update for patch fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

  • CVE-2019-13636: Fixed follow symlinks unless --follow-symlinks is given. This increases the security against malicious patches (bsc#1142041).
  • CVE-2018-6952: Fixed swapping fakelines in pch_swap. This bug was causing a double free leading to a crash (bsc#1080985).

Bugfixes:

  • Abort when cleaning up fails. This bug could cause an infinite loop when a patch wouldn't apply, leading to a segmentation fault (bsc#1111572).
  • Pass the correct stat to backup files. This bug would occasionally cause backup files to be missing when all hunks failed to apply (bsc#1198106).
