      "value": "The install utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition during file installation. The implementation unlinks an existing destination file and then recreates it using a path-based operation without the O_EXCL flag. A local attacker can exploit the window between the unlink and the subsequent creation to swap the path with a symbolic link, allowing them to redirect privileged writes to overwrite arbitrary system files."

      "value": "La utilidad install en uutils coreutils es vulnerable a una condición de carrera de tipo Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) durante la instalación de archivos. La implementación desvincula un archivo de destino existente y luego lo recrea utilizando una operación basada en ruta sin la bandera O_EXCL. Un atacante local puede explotar la ventana entre la desvinculación y la creación subsiguiente para intercambiar la ruta con un enlace simbólico, permitiéndoles redirigir escrituras privilegiadas para sobrescribir archivos de sistema arbitrarios."
