uutils coreutils has a Link Following issue

A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use TOCTOU vulnerability in the cp utility of uutils coreutils allows an attacker to bypass no-dereference intent. The utility checks if a source path is a symbolic link using path-based metadata but subsequently opens it without the ONOFOLLOW flag. An attacker with...

CVE-2026-35372

Affects the ln utility in uutils coreutils. A logic error causes dereferencing of the target when --no-dereference/-n is provided, previously only honoring no-dereference with --force. This can cause ln to follow a symlink pointing to a directory and create links inside that directory instead of ...
