Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The patch 'sonar-eclipse-GHSA-vrpq-qp53-qv56.patch' could not be applied to the build.gradle file. The patch was likely created for a different version of the file than what exists in the checked out version (tag 25.7.0.110598) of the SonarQube repository.

Analysis

Looking at the similar fixed build failures, I observe a common pattern: patch application failures occur when the target file has changed in the newer version of the software, causing the patch context to no longer match. In both examples, the fixes involved either:

1. Updating the package version and removing the problematic patch (Fix Example #0)
2. Creating a completely new package version with updated dependencies (Fix Example Add binutils-2.39 configuration #1)

The current failure is attempting to apply a patch to build.gradle in SonarQube 25.7.0.110598, but the patch is failing because the file has likely changed from the version the patch was originally created for.

Explanation

The patch 'sonar-eclipse-GHSA-vrpq-qp53-qv56.patch' is failing to apply to build.gradle because the file content in SonarQube version 25.7.0.110598 doesn't match what the patch expects. This is a common issue when patches are created for specific versions but then applied to newer versions where the surrounding code has changed.

Based on the error message "Hunk #1 FAILED at 469", we can see that the patch is trying to modify line 469 in build.gradle, but that line or its context has changed in the current version.

The suggested fix removes the problematic patch from the patch step and instead applies the necessary changes directly using sed. This approach is more resilient to version changes as it targets the specific dependency version that needs to be updated rather than relying on exact line numbers and context.

The security fix is likely related to updating a vulnerable dependency version. By directly modifying the build.gradle file to update the dependency version, we achieve the same security improvement that the patch was intended to provide, but in a way that works with the current file structure.

This approach is similar to Fix Example #0, where the problematic patch was removed when updating to a newer version. The key difference is that we're still applying the security fix, just using a different method.

Alternative Approaches

• Update to a newer SonarQube version where the vulnerability may already be fixed, similar to Fix Example #0 where they upgraded from 25.1.0.102122 to 25.2.0.102705.
• Create a new patch file specifically for version 25.7.0.110598 by examining the build.gradle.rej file to see what failed and creating a new patch with the correct context.
• Fork the specific version of SonarQube, apply the security fix directly in the forked repository, and then build from that repository instead of applying patches during the build process.
