1. Summary:

An update for patch is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6
Extended Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability
from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

3. Description:

The patch program applies diff files to originals. The diff command is used

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).
