commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=0835550ce984b1755c1e8540bbbeb24844392c5d
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

do_ed_script in pch.c in GNU patch through 2.7.6 does not block strings
beginning with a ! character. NOTE: this is the same commit as for
CVE-2019-13638, but the ! syntax is specific to ed, and is unrelated to
a shell metacharacter.
