CVE-2018-20969

Published: 8/16/2019 Last updated: 8/5/2024 Reserved: 8/15/2019

do_ed_script in pch.c in GNU patch through 2.7.6 does not block strings beginning with a ! character. NOTE: this is the same commit as for CVE-2019-13638, but the ! syntax is specific to ed, and is unrelated to a shell metacharacter.
