CVE-2013-0223: Opensuse

Low severity, CVSS 1.9. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The SUSE coreutils-i18n.patch for GNU coreutils allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via a long string to the join command, when using the -i switch, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow in the alloca function.

Affected products

• Opensuse Opensuse: version 11.4 only; version 12.1 only; version 12.2 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux: version 6.0 only
