"Malicious patch files cause ed to execute arbitrary commands

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 ancestry the code bases have diverged over
time.(CVE-2018-1000156)"
