"An issue in bsdiff, a tool to generate/apply a patch between two
binary files, has been found.
Using a crafted patch file an integer signedness error in bspatch
could be used for a heap based buffer overflow and possibly execution
of arbitrary code.
For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version
4.3-15+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your bsdiff packages.

block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
