A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use TOCTOU vulnerability exists in the split utility of uutils coreutils. The program attempts to prevent data loss by checking for identity between input and output files using their file paths before initiating the split operation. However, the utility subsequently...

GHSA-5V4G-VW9X-H534 uutils coreutils has an Improper Input Validation Issue in its env Utility

A logic error in the env utility of uutils coreutils causes a failure to correctly parse command-line arguments when utilizing the -S split-string option. In GNU env, backslashes within single quotes are treated literally with the exceptions of \ and '. However, the uutils implementation...

GHSA-M2PG-C7M6-77PJ uutils coreutils has an Improper Input Validation Issue in its cut Utility

A logic error in the cut utility of uutils coreutils causes the program to incorrectly interpret the literal two-byte string '' two single quotes as an empty delimiter. The implementation mistakenly maps this string to the NUL character for both the -d delimiter and --output-delimiter options. Th...

EUVD-2026-25002

The touch utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use TOCTOU race condition during file creation. When the utility identifies a missing path, it later attempts creation using File::create, which internally uses OTRUNC. An attacker can exploit this window to create ...

EUVD-2026-24982

The cp utility in uutils coreutils fails to properly handle setuid and setgid bits when ownership preservation fails. When copying with the -p preserve flag, the utility applies the source mode bits even if the chown operation is unsuccessful. This can result in a user-owned copy retaining origin...

GHSA-X4MC-MQM7-GG39 uutils coreutils has a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition

A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use TOCTOU vulnerability exists in the mv utility of uutils coreutils during cross-device moves. The extended attribute xattr preservation logic uses multiple path-based system calls that perform fresh path-to-inode lookups for each operation. A local attacker with writ...

GHSA-V762-X3CF-5MFG Duplicate Advisory: uutils coreutils has a Link Following Issue Via rm Utility

Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-7cr3-h577-g38j. This link is maintained to preserve external references. Original Description A vulnerability in the rm utility of uutils coreutils allows a bypass of the --preserve-root protection. The...

Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-p6rv-2qpm-fwvg. This link is maintained to preserve external references. Original Description An argument parsing error in the kill utility of uutils coreutils incorrectly interprets kill -1 as a request to send...

EUVD-2026-24980

The sort utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to a process panic when using the --files0-from option with inputs containing non-UTF-8 filenames. The implementation enforces UTF-8 encoding and utilizes expect, causing an immediate crash when encountering valid but non-UTF-8 paths. This diverg...

uutils coreutils has a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition

A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use TOCTOU race condition exists in the mv utility of uutils coreutils during cross-device operations. The utility removes the destination path before recreating it through a copy operation. A local attacker with write access to the destination directory can exploit thi...

uutils coreutils has a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition

The cp utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to an information disclosure race condition. Destination files are initially created with umask-derived permissions e.g., 0644 before being restricted to their final mode e.g., 0600 later in the process. A local attacker can race to open the file...

GHSA-957R-R8GC-VV3H uutils coreutils doesn't preserve file ownership during moves across different filesystem boundaries

The mv utility in uutils coreutils fails to preserve file ownership during moves across different filesystem boundaries. The utility falls back to a copy-and-delete routine that creates the destination file using the caller's UID/GID rather than the source's metadata. This flaw breaks backups and...

GHSA-MH5C-XRMH-M794 uutils coreutils has an Untrusted Search Path

A vulnerability exists in the chroot utility of uutils coreutils when using the --userspec option. The utility resolves the user specification via getpwnam after entering the chroot but before dropping root privileges. On glibc-based systems, this can trigger the Name Service Switch NSS to load...

GHSA-WH8P-H9HW-X2MC uutils coreutils has an Unchecked Return Value Issue

The dd utility in uutils coreutils suppresses errors during file truncation operations by unconditionally calling Result::ok on truncation attempts. While intended to mimic GNU behavior for special files like /dev/null, the uutils implementation also hides failures on regular files and directorie...
