+From 5046e5605cf7420d9a11de49bd9fe4851a4ca1d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Saleem Rashid <dev@saleemrashid.com>

+Subject: [PATCH] Refuse to apply ed scripts by default
+
+* src/patch.c, src/pch.c: Warn that ed scripts are potentially
+dangerous, unless patch is invoked with --force
+* tests/dangerous-ed-scripts: New test case
+* tests/crlf-handling, tests/need-filename: Add -f to patch invokation to
+avoid ed scripts warning
+
+This fixes an issue where ed scripts could be included in a patch, executing
+arbitrary shell commands without the user's knowledge.
+

+https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?53566
