Failure Point patch step - applying GHSA-hq9p-pm7w-8p54-remediation.patch to build.gradle

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The patch file GHSA-hq9p-pm7w-8p54-remediation.patch appears to be malformed (ends in middle of line) or has already been applied to the source code. The patch system detected this as a reversed or previously applied patch and refused to apply it, causing the build pipeline to fail.

Analysis

All three similar build failures show a consistent pattern: patch application failures occur when patches are already incorporated into newer upstream versions. In each case, the fix involved updating to a newer package version and removing the patch step entirely. The pattern is: 1) Update package version to latest upstream release, 2) Update expected-commit to match new version, 3) Remove the patch step from pipeline, 4) Delete the patch file itself. This suggests that upstream has already incorporated the security fixes that the patches were addressing.

Explanation

The build failure occurs because the GHSA-hq9p-pm7w-8p54-remediation.patch cannot be applied - it's either malformed or already incorporated into the current source code. Based on the pattern from all three similar fixes, the most likely scenario is that the upstream SonarQube project has already incorporated the security fix that this patch was addressing in a newer release. The patch is being rejected because the changes it attempts to make have already been applied in the upstream codebase. By updating to the latest upstream version and removing the patch step, we eliminate the patch application failure while ensuring we have the most recent security fixes directly from upstream. This approach aligns with Wolfi's principle of keeping packages up to date with upstream releases.

Alternative Approaches

  • If updating to latest version is not immediately possible, examine the patch file for formatting issues (like missing newlines) and fix them manually
  • Check if the patch needs to be applied in reverse (-R flag) if the changes were already applied but in a different context
  • Verify the patch target file path matches the actual file structure in the current version
  • Consider creating a new patch file based on the actual differences between current source and desired state
