EUVD-2026-24984

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...

uutils coreutils has a Link Following Issue

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 Unlike GNU tail, the uutils implementation continues to monitor a path after it has been replaced by a symbolic link, subsequently outputting the...

Original Description The recursive mode -R of the chmod utility in uutils coreutils incorrectly handles exit codes when processing multipl...

CVE-2026-35381

A logic error in the cut utility of uutils coreutils causes the utility to ignore the -s only-delimited flag when using the -z null-terminated and -d '' empty delimiter options together. The implementation incorrectly routes this specific combination through a specialized newline-delimiter code...

CVE-2026-35377

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...

CVE-2026-35375

A logic error in the split utility of uutils coreutils causes the corruption of output filenames when provided with non-UTF-8 prefix or suffix inputs. The implementation utilizes tostringlossy when constructing chunk filenames, which automatically rewrites invalid byte sequences into the UTF-8...

CVE-2026-35372

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...

CVE-2026-35368

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...

CVE-2026-35369

An argument parsing error in the kill utility of uutils coreutils incorrectly interprets kill -1 as a request to send the default signal SIGTERM to PID -1. Sending a signal to PID -1 causes the kernel to terminate all processes visible to the caller, potentially leading to a system crash or massi...

CVE-2026-35370

The id utility in uutils coreutils miscalculates the groups= section of its output. The implementation uses a user's real GID instead of their effective GID to compute the group list, leading to potentially divergent output compared to GNU coreutils. Because many scripts and automated processes...

CVE-2026-35363

A vulnerability in the rm utility of uutils coreutils allows the bypass of safeguard mechanisms intended to protect the current directory. While the utility correctly refuses to delete . or .., it fails to recognize equivalent paths with trailing slashes, such as ./ or .///. An accidental or...

CVE-2026-35356

A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use TOCTOU vulnerability exists in the install utility of uutils coreutils when using the -D flag. The command creates parent directories and subsequently performs a second path resolution to create the target file, neither of which is anchored to a directory file...
