Hi, The following vulnerability was published for rust-coreutils. CVE-2026-35373[0]: | A logic error in the ln utility of uutils coreutils causes the | program to reject source paths containing non-UTF-8 filename bytes | when using target-directory forms (e.g., ln SOURCE... DIRECTORY). | While GNU ln treats filenames as raw bytes and creates the links | correctly, the uutils implementation enforces UTF-8 encoding, | resulting in a failure to stat the file and a non-zero exit code. In | environments where automated scripts or system tasks process valid | but non-UTF-8 filenames common on Unix filesystems, this divergence | causes the utility to fail, leading to a local denial of service for | those specific operations. https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/11403 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-2026-35373 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-35373 Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.
