Package: patch
Version: 2.6.1-3+deb7u3

An issue with quoting has been found when invoking ed. In order to avoid this, ed is now directly started instead of calling a shell which starts ed.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.1-3+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your patch packages.
