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 uniq command, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow in the alloca function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A patched build of GNU coreutils could let the uniq command crash when it processes a very long string. The reported impact is denial of service through a segmentation fault. The provided sources do not show system takeover, active exploitation, or a complete affected-version list. Exposure is most likely where GNU coreutils was shipped with the SUSE coreutils-i18n.patch. The source bundle does not identify exact affected distributions, releases, or package versions. Treat this as a targeted availability risk, not a confirmed widespread emergency. Patch through normal Linux distribution channels once affected packages are confirmed, especially on systems processing untrusted text streams. Mitigation focus: Check vendor advisories for affected coreutils packages and fixed versions.; Prioritize patching systems that process untrusted input through uniq.; Use supported distribution packages rather than custom patched builds..
