It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-35345 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- coreutils (crates.io): affected all versions up to 0.8.0; no fix listed\n- coreutils (crates.io): affected all versions up to 0.8.0; no fix listed\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35345/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35345/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-35345","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35345/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-35345","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-35345","GHSA-xf75-659h-cgg5","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-35345"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"uutils coreutils tail","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exploit a race condition in uutils tail to disclose sensitive file contents by replacing monitored files with symlinks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"coreutils","vendor":"uutils"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"},{"id":"CWE-367","name":"Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition"}],"description":"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 contents of the link's target. In environments where a privileged user (e.g., root) monitors a log directory, a local attacker with write access to that directory can replace a log file with a symlink to a sensitive system file (such as /etc/shadow), causing tail to disclose the contents of the sensitive file.","ecosystems":["crates.io"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"uutils coreutils tail Privileged Information Disclosure via Symlink Replacement Race","id":"CVE-2026-35345","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"crates.io","product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"uutils coreutils comm Silent Data Corruption via Lossy UTF-8 Normalization","id":"CVE-2026-35346"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["0.8.0"],"package":"coreutils","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-xf75-659h-cgg5"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["0.8.0"],"package":"coreutils","purl":"pkg:cargo/coreutils","source":"GHSA-xf75-659h-cgg5"}],"prev":{"headline":"uutils coreutils dd Silent Data Corruption via Unconditional Truncation Error Suppression","id":"CVE-2026-35344"},"products":["coreutils"],"published":"2026-04-22","related":[{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"uutils coreutils chmod Path Traversal Bypass of --preserve-root","id":"CVE-2026-35338","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"uutils coreutils chroot Local Privilege Escalation and chroot Escape in via Name Service Switch (NSS) Injection","id":"CVE-2026-35368","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"uutils coreutils mkfifo Unauthorized Permission Change on Existing Files","id":"CVE-2026-35341","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"uutils coreutils mkfifo Privilege Escalation via TOCTOU Race Condition","id":"CVE-2026-35352","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"uutils coreutils Path-Based Safety Bypass with --preserve-root","id":"CVE-2026-35349","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"uutils coreutils cp Unexpected Privileged Executable Creation with -p","id":"CVE-2026-35350","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"uutils coreutils mv Denial of Service and Data Duplication via Improper Symlink Expansion","id":"CVE-2026-35365","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-22","vendors":["Uutils"]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit a race condition in uutils tail to disclose sensitive file contents by replacing monitored files with symlinks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35345/"}
