RedHat: RHSA-2019-2033:01 Low: patch security and bug fix update
Summary
The patch program applies diff files to originals. The diff command is used
to compare an original to a changed file. Diff lists the changes made to
the file. A person who has the original file can then use the patch command
with the diff file to add the changes to their original file (patching the
file).
Security Fix(es):
* patch: Out-of-bounds access in pch_write_line function in pch.c
(CVE-2016-10713)
* patch: Double free of memory in pch.c:another_hunk() causes a crash
(CVE-2018-6952)
