It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-35377 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2026-35377/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35377/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-35377","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35377/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-35377","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-35377","GHSA-5v4g-vw9x-h534","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-35377"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"coreutils env utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A logic error in the uutils coreutils env utility causes local denial of service by incorrectly handling backslashes in split-string mode, breaking script compatibility.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"coreutils","vendor":"uutils"}],"cvss":{"score":3.3,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"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 incorrectly attempts to validate these sequences, resulting in an \"invalid sequence\" error and an immediate process termination with an exit status of 125 when encountering valid but unrecognized sequences like \\a or \\x. This divergence from GNU behavior breaks compatibility for automated scripts and administrative workflows that rely on standard split-string semantics, leading to a local denial of service for those operations.","ecosystems":["crates.io"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"uutils coreutils env Local Denial of Service via Improper Handling of Backslashes in Split-String Mode","id":"CVE-2026-35377","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"crates.io","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"uutils coreutils expr Local Denial of Service via Eager Evaluation of Parenthesized Subexpressions","id":"CVE-2026-35378"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["0.8.0"],"package":"coreutils","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5v4g-vw9x-h534"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["0.8.0"],"package":"coreutils","purl":"pkg:cargo/coreutils","source":"GHSA-5v4g-vw9x-h534"}],"prev":{"headline":"uutils coreutils chcon Security Bypass and Mandatory Access Control (MAC) Inconsistency via TOCTOU Race Condition","id":"CVE-2026-35376"},"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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-22","vendors":["Uutils"]},"summary":"A logic error in the uutils coreutils env utility causes local denial of service by incorrectly handling backslashes in split-string mode, breaking script compatibility.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35377/"}
