CVE-2026-35340

A flaw in the ChownExecutor used by uutils coreutils chown and chgrp causes the utilities to return an incorrect exit code during recursive operations. The final exit code is determined only by the last file processed. If the last operation succeeds, the command returns 0 even if earlier ownershi...

CVE-2026-35338

A vulnerability in the chmod utility of uutils coreutils allows users to bypass the --preserve-root safety mechanism. The implementation only validates if the target path is literally / and does not canonicalize the path. An attacker or accidental user can use path variants such as /../ or symbol...

CVE-2022-42321

Xenstore: Guests can crash xenstored via exhausting the stack Xenstored is using recursion for some Xenstore operations e.g. for deleting a sub-tree of Xenstore nodes. With sufficiently deep nesting levels this can result in stack exhaustion on xenstored, leading to a crash of xenstored...

Xenstore: recursive operations causing xenstored stack exhaustion (XSA-418)

Xenstore: xenstored is using recursion for some Xenstore operations e.g. for deleting a sub-tree of Xenstore nodes. With sufficiently deep nesting levels this can result in stack exhaustion leading to a crash. Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the...

USN-3791-1: Git vulnerability

It was discovered that git did not properly validate git submodule urls or paths. A remote attacker could possibly use this to craft a git repository that causes arbitrary code execution when recursive operations are used...
