Log Message:
Fix two security issues:

1.)
An integer overflow in ls in the fileutils or coreutils packages may allow
local users to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a
large -w value, which could be remotely exploited via applications that use
ls, such as wu-ftpd.

2.)
ls in the fileutils or coreutils packages allows local users to consume a
large amount of memory via a large -w value, which can be remotely exploited
via applications that use ls, such as wu-ftpd.
