These are the instructions I used for this and other patches:

Use "patch" command (if your system doesn't have it, get GNU patch).
Suppose you have kept patch files in /tmp, issue the following
commands:

$ cd ~/src/krb5-1.2.2/appl/telnet/telnetd
$ patch < /tmp/telnetd_122_patch.txt

$ cd ~/src/krb5-1.2.2/appl/gssftp/ftpd
$ patch < /tmp/ftpbuf_122_patch.txt


I used the GNU patch command from AIX Toolbox; standard AIX patch command
did not work.
