Notes

Title of the patch: Security update for wdiff

Description of the patch: This update for wdiff fixes the following issues: This update ships wdiff. Updated to 1.2.2: * Updated Vietnamese, Swedish, Estonian, Chinese (traditional), Brazilian Portuguese and Russian translations. * Updated gnulib. * Used more recent autotools: autoconf 2.69 and automake 1.14.1. updated to 1.2.1: * Added Esperanto translation. * Updated Czech, German, Spanish, Finnish, Galician, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Slovenian, Serbian, Swedish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese translations. * Updated gnulib. * Recreated build system using recent versions of autotools. This will avoid security issues in 'make distcheck' target. (CVE-2012-3386) updated to 1.1.2: * Backport gnulib change to deal with removal of gets function. This is a build-time-only fix. (Mentioned in Fedora bug #821791) * Added Serbian translation. * Updated Danish and Vietnamese translations. * Work around a bug in the formatting of the man page. (Debian bug #669340) * Updated Czech, German, Spanish, Finnish, Dutch, Polish, Slovenian, Swedish and Ukrainian translations. * Fix several issue with the use of screen in the test suite. * Allow WDIFF_PAGER to override PAGER environment variable. * Do not autodetect less, so we don't auto-enable less-mode. This should improve things for UTF8 text. (Savannah bug #34224) Less-mode is considered deprecated, as it isn't fit for multi-byte encodings. Nevertheless it can still be enabled on the command line. * Introduces use of ngettext to allow correct handling of plural forms updated to 1.0.1: * Updated Polish, Ukrainian, Slovenian, Dutch, Finnish, Swedish and Czech translations * Changed major version to 1 to reflect maturity of the package * Updated Dutch, French, Danish and Slovenian translations * Added Ukrainian translation * Improved error reporting in case a child process has problems * Added tests to the test suite * Updated gnulib updated to 0.6.5: * Never initialize or deinitialize terminals, as we do no cursor movement * Deprecated --no-init-term (-K) command line option * Avoid relative path in man pages * Updated gnulib, might be particularly important for uClibc users updated to 0.6.4: * Updated Catalan translations * Updated gnulib update to 0.6.3: * `wdiff -d' to read input from single unified diff, perhaps stdin. * Updated texinfo documentation taking experimental switch into account. * Experimental programs (mdiff & friends) and a configure switch --enable-experimental to control them. * Recent imports from gnulib, use of recent autotools. * Improved autodetection of termcap library like ncurses. * Reformatted translations, still a number of fuzzy translations. * Changed from CVS to bzr for source code version control. * Various bug fixes. See ChangeLog for a more exhaustive list. * Introduce --with-default-pager=PAGER configure switch. * Fix missing newline in info dir entry list. * Fix shell syntax in configure script * Updated gnulib and gettext, the latter to 0.18 * Updated Dutch translation * Fixed a number of portability issues reported by maint.mk syntax checks * Updated Italian and Swedish translations * Updated gnulib

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
