CVE-2025-5278 (GCVE-0-2025-5278)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-05-27 20:52 – Updated: 2026-01-22 19:40

Title

Coreutils: heap buffer under-read in gnu coreutils sort via key specification

Summary

A flaw was found in GNU Coreutils. The sort utility's begfield() function is vulnerable to a heap buffer under-read. The program may access memory outside the allocated buffer if a user runs a crafted command using the traditional key format. A malicious input could lead to a crash or leak sensitive data.

Severity ?

4.4 (Medium)
