Hello, I found an older bug report generated by our tool for ptx,
which I forgot to report. The bug is still present in the current
version of Coreutils (6.12). I did not have time to investigate the
root cause of the bug, but I'm including a very simple test case and the
output reported by v
Hi Jim, we found a buffer overflow in pr, due to the invalid
processing of backspaces and tabs.
Here is a simple input that our tool generated:
pr --e pr-bug.txt
Another input, that crashes in glibc on my machine is:
pr -e pr-bug-crash.txt
Both pr-bug.txt and pr-bug-crash.txt are
Hello Jim,
Thanks again for the prompt confirmation of our previous bug reports.
We found a new bug in md5sum, due to a buffer underflow. Here is an
example that seg faults on my machine:
$ md5sum -c -- md5sum_bug.txt
Segmentation fault
The file md5sum_bug.txt is attached to this
Hi Jim,
We found a crash bug in paste, due to an unbounded buffer overflow.
The bug is similar to the ptx bug that we reported earlier, and is due

past the end of the buffer. This in turn causes an unbounded overflow
of the buffer malloc-ed at the very beginning of the function, which in
turn can be used to corrupt the heap metadata and crash the program.
We would appreciate your confirmation of the bug.
