Discussion
GNU patch 'pch.c' Integer Overflow Vulnerability
GNU patch is prone to an integer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds check user-supplied input before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.
Successfully exploiting this issue may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application. Failed attacks may cause a denial-of-service condition.
