medium Nessus Plugin ID 81156

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes the following security issue :

+ Security fix for a directory traversal flaw when handling git-style patches. This could allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files by applying a specially crafted patch. [boo#913678] [CVE-2015-1196]

This update fixes the following issues :

+ When a file isn't being deleted because the file contents don't match the patch, the resulting message is now 'Not deleting file ... as content differs from patch' instead of 'File ... is not empty after patch;
not deleting'.

+ Function names in hunks (from diff -p) are now preserved in reject files [boo#904519]

Solution

Update the affected patch packages.
