      "value": "A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability exists in the install utility of uutils coreutils when using the -D flag. The command creates parent directories and subsequently performs a second path resolution to create the target file, neither of which is anchored to a directory file descriptor. An attacker with concurrent write access can replace a path component with a symbolic link between these operations, redirecting the privileged write to an arbitrary file system location."

      "value": "Una vulnerabilidad de tipo Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) existe en la utilidad install de uutils coreutils al usar la bandera -D. El comando crea directorios padre y posteriormente realiza una segunda resolución de ruta para crear el archivo objetivo, ninguna de las cuales está anclada a un descriptor de archivo de directorio. Un atacante con acceso de escritura concurrente puede reemplazar un componente de ruta con un enlace simbólico entre estas operaciones, redirigiendo la escritura privilegiada a una ubicación arbitraria del sistema de archivos."
