Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2014-11-25 08:49:02 UTC

I believe this vulnerability was already addressed in F20+ Fedora (e.g. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?h=f20 , https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069657 ). I consider this as a corner case - actually the issue is there since 5.3.0 , so RHEL-5+ are affected. That's the primary reason why I fixed that only in F20+. I'm going to close the F20 one as duplicate and keeping the tracking one opened.
