  - The id utility in uutils coreutils exhibits incorrect behavior in its pretty print output when the real
    UID and effective UID differ. The implementation incorrectly uses the effective GID instead of the
    effective UID when performing a name lookup for the effective user. This results in misleading diagnostic
    output that can cause automated scripts or system administrators to make incorrect decisions regarding
    file permissions or access control. (CVE-2026-35371)
