Hi, The following vulnerability was published for rust-coreutils. CVE-2026-35348[0]: | 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 diverges from GNU sort, which treats | filenames as raw bytes. A local attacker can exploit this to crash | the utility and disrupt automated pipelines. https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/9696 If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
