CVE-2014-9471

Publication date 31 December 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The parse_datetime function in GNU coreutils allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted date string, as demonstrated by the "--date=TZ="123"345" @1" string to the touch or date command.
