CVE-2013-0221

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 sort command, when using the (1) -d or (2) -M switch,
which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow in the alloca function.
