Hi, The following vulnerability was published for rust-coreutils. CVE-2026-35352[0]: | A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition exists in the | mkfifo utility of uutils coreutils. The utility creates a FIFO and | then performs a path-based chmod to set permissions. A local | attacker with write access to the parent directory can swap the | newly created FIFO for a symbolic link between these two operations. | This redirects the chmod call to an arbitrary file, potentially | enabling privilege escalation if the utility is run with elevated | privileges. https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/10020 If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry. For further information see: [0] https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-35352 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-35352 Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.
