It was discovered that there was an input validation vulnerability in the patch(1) utility where an ed(1) script embedded in a regular input file could result in arbitrary code execution. This was reported by Rachel Kroll [0] et al.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, this issue has been fixed in patch version 2.6.1-3+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your patch packages.
