The diff command is used to compare an original to a changed file. Diff lists the changes made to the file. A person who has the original file can then use the patch command with the diff file to add the changes to their original file (patching the file). Patch should be installed because it is a common way of upgrading applications. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Security fix for CVE-2018-6951 and CVE-2018-6952 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Oct 11 2018 Than Ngo <than@redhat.com> - 2.7.6-5 - Fixed CVE-2018-6952 - Double free of memory * Thu May 3 2018 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com> - 2.7.6-4 - Fixed CVE-2018-1000156 - Malicious patch files cause ed to execute arbitrary commands. * Mon Feb 12 2018 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com> - 2.7.6-3 - 2.7.6 (CVE-2016-10713, CVE-2018-6951, CVE-2018-6952). * Thu Feb 8 2018 Fedora Release Engineering <releng@fedoraproject.org> - 2.7.5-7 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_28_Mass_Rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1545053 - CVE-2018-6952 patch: Double free of memory in pch.c:another_hunk() causes a crash https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1545053 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
