GHSA-HWHF-8P2F-45WR coreutils' comm utility silently corrupts data by performing lossy UTF-8 conversion on all output lines

The comm utility in uutils coreutils silently corrupts data by performing lossy UTF-8 conversion on all output lines. The implementation uses String::fromutf8lossy, which replaces invalid UTF-8 byte sequences with the Unicode replacement character U+FFFD. This behavior differs from GNU comm, whic...
