It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-13638 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-13638/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-13638/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-13638","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-13638/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-13638","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2019-13638","AZL-35106","AZL-6790","CLEANSTART-2026-LC02147","DEBIAN-CVE-2019-13638","GHSA-vqpq-8jvg-rwmx","JLSEC-2026-17","UBUNTU-CVE-2019-13638"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNU patch utility","requires_auth":"none","summary":"GNU patch allows OS shell command injection via crafted ed-style diff payloads, enabling arbitrary code execution when processing malicious patch files.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"patch","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"GNU patch through 2.7.6 is vulnerable to OS shell command injection that can be exploited by opening a crafted patch file that contains an ed style diff payload with shell metacharacters.
