CVE-2013-0221: Input Validation

First published: Thu Jan 24 2013(Updated: )

It was reported [1] that the sort command suffered from a segfault when processing input streams that contained extremely long strings when used with the -d and -M switches. This flaw is due to the inclusion of the coreutils-i18n.patch. SUSE has fixed this by fixing the patch. The changes can be seen here [2]. (There is probably e better place to get the patch, but I don't know where).
