Hi Pádraig,
thank you, that will not yet fix the problem in the older distros? What
about the RPM world with Fedora/RHEL and Archlinux? As far as I can tell
all cp version 9.x are affected by this.
I'll handle the Fedora 37/38 fixes.
RHEL/Centos and current Archlinux are not affected AFAICS.
Fedora 37 and 38 updates are now pending (cc Kamil):

The Fedora patches should also apply to the debian bookworm package,
so I've opened bugs accordingly at:
https://bugs.debian.org/1035530
https://bugs.debian.org/1035531
Schlomo, the second one is the one you're particularly interested in.
This is relevant to coreutils-9.3, right?
Right. Specifically only this bug applies to 9.3. I.e.:
https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/c6b1fe434
In that case, the only way
I found out Gentoo was affected was by reading bug-coreutils by chance.
It's not feasible for all package maintainers to read all bug trackers
regularly for all software in their distributions.
If it's worth filing bug reports in each distro for, it's either worth
a new release
Right. I didn't inform distros that generally go with the latest coreutils
(including Fedora rawhide), as I was planning to do a 9.4 release soonish
to address this (and other bugs), and so it would get picked up automatically.

TIL
thanks!
