According to the versions of the patch package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - GNU patch 2.7.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (memory consumption and     segmentation fault) via a crafted diff     file.(CVE-2014-9637)

  - An issue was discovered in GNU patch before 2.7.6.
    Out-of-bounds access within pch_write_line() in pch.c     can possibly lead to DoS via a crafted input     file.(CVE-2016-10713)

  - GNU patch 2.7.1 allows remote attackers to write to     arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch     file.(CVE-2015-1196)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

  - A heap-based out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the     way the patch utility parsed patch files. An attacker     could potentially use this flaw to crash the patch     utility by tricking it into processing crafted patch     files.(CVE-2016-10713)

The GNU patch utility was updated to 2.7.5 to fix three security issues and one non-security bug.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-1196: directory traversal flaw when handling     git-style patches. This could allow an attacker to     overwrite arbitrary files by tricking the user into     applying a specially crafted patch. (bsc#913678)

  - CVE-2015-1395: directory traversal flaw when handling     patches which rename files. This could allow an attacker     to overwrite arbitrary files by tricking the user into     applying a specially crafted patch. (bsc#915328)

  - CVE-2015-1396: directory traversal flaw via symbolic     links. This could allow an attacker to overwrite     arbitrary files by tricking the user into applying a by     applying a specially crafted patch. (bsc#915329)

The following bug was fixed :

  - bsc#904519: Function names in hunks (from diff -p) are     now preserved in reject files.

New patch packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue.

According to the versions of the patch package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in GNU patch before 2.7.6.
    Out-of-bounds access within pch_write_line() in pch.c     can possibly lead to DoS via a crafted input     file.(CVE-2016-10713)

  - do_ed_script in pch.c in GNU patch through 2.7.6 does     not block strings beginning with a ! character. NOTE:
    this is the same commit as for CVE-2019-13638, but the     ! syntax is specific to ed, and is unrelated to a shell     metacharacter.(CVE-2018-20969)

  - GNU patch 2.7.1 allows remote attackers to write to     arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch     file.(CVE-2015-1196)

  - GNU patch 2.7.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (memory consumption and     segmentation fault) via a crafted diff     file.(CVE-2014-9637)

  - GNU patch through 2.7.6 is vulnerable to OS shell     command injection that can be exploited by opening a     crafted patch file that contains an ed style diff     payload with shell metacharacters. The ed editor does     not need to be present on the vulnerable system. This     is different from CVE-2018-1000156.(CVE-2019-13638)

This update fixes the following security issue :

  + Security fix for a directory traversal flaw when     handling git-style patches. This could allow an attacker     to overwrite arbitrary files by applying a specially     crafted patch. [boo#913678] [CVE-2015-1196]

    This update fixes the following issues :

  + When a file isn't being deleted because the file     contents don't match the patch, the resulting message is     now 'Not deleting file ... as content differs from     patch' instead of 'File ... is not empty after patch;
    not deleting'.

  + Function names in hunks (from diff -p) are now preserved     in reject files [boo#904519]

Updated patch package fixes security vulnerabilities :

It was reported that a crafted diff file can make patch eat memory and later segfault (CVE-2014-9637).

It was reported that the versions of the patch utility that support Git-style patches are vulnerable to a directory traversal flaw. This could allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files by applying a specially crafted patch, with the privileges of the user running patch (CVE-2015-1395).

GNU patch before 2.7.4 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch file (CVE-2015-1196).

  - Directory traversal vulnerability in GNU patch versions     which support Git-style patching before 2.7.3 allows     remote attackers to write to arbitrary files with the     permissions of the target user via a .. (dot dot) in a     diff file name.(CVE-2015-1395)

  - An issue was discovered in GNU patch before 2.7.6.
