  - The cp utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to an information disclosure race condition. Destination
    files are initially created with umask-derived permissions (e.g., 0644) before being restricted to their
    final mode (e.g., 0600) later in the process. A local attacker can race to open the file during this
    window; once obtained, the file descriptor remains valid and readable even after the permissions are
    tightened, exposing sensitive or private file contents. (CVE-2026-35357)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
