-M switch, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow in the alloca function.
CVE-2013-0222 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.
CVE-2013-0223 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.
