NVD reports :
An issue was discovered in GNU patch through 2.7.6. There is a segmentation fault, associated with a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a denial of service in the intuit_diff_type function in pch.c, aka a ‘mangled rename’ issue.
A double free exists in the another_hunk function in pch.c in GNU patch through 2.7.6.
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.
