Patch isn't only used for source code. I wouldn't have expected any risk of malicious code execution if I was patching documentation.

- jwilk 9y agoEven for source, you may want to review the patch after applying it. For example, dpkg-source applies patches when you unpack source package. I don't think anybody expects code execution when unpacking stuff, even when this stuff is untrusted.
