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: the following of symlinks in inp.c and util.c is mishandled in cases other than input files (CVE-2019-13636)
