golang: internal/syscall/unix: Root.Chmod can follow symlinks out of the root

A flaw was found in the internal/syscall/unix package in the Go standard library. If the target of the Root.Chmod function is replaced with a symbolic link during execution, specifically after Root.Chmod checks the target but before acting, the chmod operation will be performed on the file the...

CVE-2026-54572

Rogue symlink handling in rclone before 1.74.4: when using -l/--links, rclone serializes symlinks as .rclonelink and recreates them locally without validating the target, allowing an attacker-controlled remote to plant an escaping symlink and cause subsequent writes to land outside the destinatio...

CVE-2026-39246

A flaw was found in the decompress package for Node.js. The package creates symlinks from archive entries during extraction without validating the link target against the output directory, because the existing containment check only applies to regular file entries. An attacker who can supply a...

EUVD-2026-25020

A logic error in the ln utility of uutils coreutils allows the utility to dereference a symbolic link target even when the --no-dereference or -n flag is explicitly provided. The implementation previously only honored the "no-dereference" intent if the --force overwrite mode was also enabled. Thi...

PT-2026-34481

A vulnerability in the tail utility of uutils coreutils allows for the exfiltration of sensitive file contents when using the --follow=name option. Unlike GNU tail, the uutils implementation continues to monitor a path after it has been replaced by a symbolic link, subsequently outputting the...

CVE-2026-5958 Race Condition in GNU Sed

When sed is invoked with both -i in-place edit and --follow-symlinks, the function opennextfile performs two separate, non-atomic filesystem operations on the same path: 1. resolves symlink to its target and stores the resolved path for determining when output is written, 2. opens the original...
