CVE-2014-9862 [HIGH] CVE-2014-9862 bsdiff: Improper checking of input allows arbitrary write on heap
CVE-2014-9862 bsdiff: Improper checking of input allows arbitrary write on heap
The implementation of bspatch does not check for a negative value on numbers of bytes read from the diff and extra streams, allowing an attacker who can control the patch file to write at arbitrary locations in the heap.
