Patching a file

[synack]

Hi,

I have received the latest Security Advisories and am trying to patch my server. I have the latest patches on my system but am not sure what to do when I run the following;

# patch < /home/synack/openssl.patch
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|Index: crypto/openssl/crypto/asn1/asn1_err.c
|===================================================================
|--- crypto/openssl/crypto/asn1/asn1_err.c      (revision 191346)
|+++ crypto/openssl/crypto/asn1/asn1_err.c      (working copy)
--------------------------
File to patch:  crypto/openssl/crypto/asn1/asn1_err.c
No file found--skip this patch? [n]

I am not sure what to put where it asks which file to patch. I have tried entering /usr/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/asn1/asn1_err.c

but that doesn't seem to work. Any help would be great.

What doing the same from /usr/src instead of from ~ ?
