CVE-2019-20633 [MEDIUM] CVE-2019-20633: GNU patch through 2.7.6 contains a free(p_line[p_end]) Double Free vulnerability in the function ano GNU patch through 2.7.6 contains a free(p_line[p_end]) Double Free vulnerability in the function another_hunk in pch.c that can cause a denial of service via a crafted patch file. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-6952.

CVE-2015-1396 [HIGH] CVE-2015-1396: A Directory Traversal vulnerability exists in the GNU patch before 2.7.4. A remote attacker can writ A Directory Traversal vulnerability exists in the GNU patch before 2.7.4. A remote attacker can write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch file. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-1196.

CVE-2018-20969 [HIGH] CWE-78 CVE-2018-20969: do_ed_script in pch.c in GNU patch through 2.7.6 does not block strings beginning with a ! character 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-2019-13638 [HIGH] CVE-2019-13638: GNU patch through 2.7.6 is vulnerable to OS shell command injection that can be exploited by opening 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-2019-13636 [MEDIUM] CWE-59 CVE-2019-13636: In GNU patch through 2.7.6, the following of symlinks is mishandled in certain cases other than inpu In GNU patch through 2.7.6, the following of symlinks is mishandled in certain cases other than input files. This affects inp.c and util.c.

CVE-2018-1000156 [HIGH] CWE-20 CVE-2018-1000156: GNU Patch version 2.7.6 contains an input validation vulnerability when processing patch files, spec GNU Patch version 2.7.6 contains an input validation vulnerability when processing patch files, specifically the EDITOR_PROGRAM invocation (using ed) can result in code execution. This attack appear to be exploitable via a patch file processed via the patch utility. This is similar to FreeBSD's CVE-2015-1418 however although they share a common anc

CVE-2018-6951 [HIGH] CWE-476 CVE-2018-6951: An issue was discovered in GNU patch through 2.7.6. There is a segmentation fault, associated with a An issue was discovered in GNU patch through 2.7.6. There is a segmentation fault, associated with a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a denial of service in the intuit_diff_type function in pch.c, aka a "mangled rename" issue.

CVE-2018-6952 [HIGH] CWE-415 CVE-2018-6952: A double free exists in the another_hunk function in pch.c in GNU patch through 2.7.6. A double free exists in the another_hunk function in pch.c in GNU patch through 2.7.6.

CVE-2016-10713 [MEDIUM] CWE-119 CVE-2016-10713: An issue was discovered in GNU patch before 2.7.6. Out-of-bounds access within pch_write_line() in p 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-2015-1395 [HIGH] CWE-22 CVE-2015-1395: Directory traversal vulnerability in GNU patch versions which support Git-style patching before 2.7. 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-2014-9637 [MEDIUM] CWE-399 CVE-2014-9637: GNU patch 2.7.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption 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-2015-1196 [MEDIUM] CWE-59 CVE-2015-1196: GNU patch 2.7.1 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch GNU patch 2.7.1 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch file.
