Descriptions

Larry Wall's patch; patch in FreeBSD 10.2-RC1 before 10.2-RC1-p1, 10.2 before 10.2-BETA2-p2, and 10.1 before 10.1-RELEASE-p16; Bitrig; GNU patch before 2.2.5; and possibly other patch variants allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands via a crafted patch file.

El parche Larry Wall, el parche en FreeBSD en versiones 10.2-RC1 anteriores a la 10.2-RC1-p1, 10.2 anteriores a la 10.2-BETA2-p2, 10.1 anteriores a la 10.1-RELEASE-p16; Bitrig, el parche GNU en versiones anteriores a la 2.2.5 y posiblemente otras variantes de parches permiten que los atacantes remotos ejecutan comandos shell mediante un archivo de parche manipulado.

Due to insufficient sanitization of the input patch stream, it is possible for a patch file to cause patch to run commands in addition to the desired SCCS or RCS commands.
