      <description>&lt;p&gt;Directory traversal vulnerability in util.c in GNU patch 2.6.1 and earlier allows user-assisted remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a filename that is specified with a ..

      <title>USN-2651-1 — patch vulnerabilities</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/usn-2651-1</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Ubuntu:14.04:LTS: patch&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jakub Wilk discovered that GNU patch did not correctly handle file paths in
patch files. An attacker could specially craft a patch file that could
overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2010-4651)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;László Böszörményi discovered that GNU patch did not correctly handle some
patch files. An attacker could specially craft a patch file that could cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2014-9637)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jakub Wilk discovered that GNU patch did not correctly handle symbolic links in
git style patch files. An attacker could specially craft a patch file that
could overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the
program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.10.
(CVE-2015-1196)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jakub Wilk discovered that GNU patch did not correctly handle file renames in
git style patch files. An attacker could specially craft a patch file that
could overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the
program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.10.
(CVE-2015-1395)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jakub Wilk discovered the fix for CVE-2015-1196 was incomplete for GNU patch.
An attacker could specially craft a patch file that could overwrite arbitrary
files with the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.10. (CVE-2015-1396)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
