Details

Updated coreutils packages that fix a bug with /usr/bin/id are now available.

The coreutils package contains core GNU utilities. It is a combination of
the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.

The /usr/bin/id program used the getgrouplist() C library function in a way
that caused a segmentation fault. It has been changed to avoid using the
function in this particular way.

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this
issue.
