Build Details

Category	Details
Build System	melange
Failure Point	patch step - applying GHSA-5rjg-fvgr-3xxf.patch

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The patch file GHSA-5rjg-fvgr-3xxf.patch failed to apply to requirements/download-deps/bootstrap-win-lock.txt. This is likely due to the patch being created against a different version of the file or the target file having been modified in a way that makes the patch incompatible. The patch system was unable to find the expected context lines at line 14 of the bootstrap-win-lock.txt file.

Analysis

Based on the similar fixed build failures, there's a clear pattern: when patches fail to apply cleanly (typically with "Hunk #1 FAILED" errors), the most effective solution is to update the package to a newer version that already includes the security fixes, then remove the patch entirely. In all three examples, the fixes involved: 1) Updating package version to a newer release, 2) Updating the expected-commit hash, and 3) Removing the failing patch from the pipeline. This approach works because newer upstream versions often already incorporate the security fixes that were being applied via patches.

Explanation

This fix should work because the pattern from all similar failures shows that when security patches fail to apply, it's typically because the target codebase has changed significantly from when the patch was created. The most reliable solution is to update to a newer upstream version that already incorporates the security fix (GHSA-5rjg-fvgr-3xxf). AWS CLI follows semantic versioning and regularly releases updates that include security fixes. Version 2.29.0 or later would likely include the fix for GHSA-5rjg-fvgr-3xxf, making the manual patch unnecessary. This approach eliminates the patch application failure while maintaining security by using the upstream-integrated fix.

Alternative Approaches

• If updating to 2.29.0 doesn't include the security fix, try updating to the latest available version (2.30.x or higher)
• If no newer version is available, the patch file itself could be regenerated against the current codebase by examining the specific changes needed and creating a new patch that matches the current file structure
• As a last resort, the patch could be applied manually by directly editing the requirements/download-deps/bootstrap-win-lock.txt file to make the security fix without using the patch system
