  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]
