CVE-2026-35357
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The cp utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to an information disclosure race condition. Destination files are initially created with umask-derived permissions (e.g., 0644) before being restricted to their final mode (e.g., 0600) later in the process. A local attacker can race to open the file during this window; once obtained, the file descriptor remains valid and readable even after the permissions are tightened, exposing sensitive or private file contents.

Los archivos de destino se crean inicialmente con permisos derivados de umask (p. ej., 0644) antes de ser restringidos a su modo final (p. ej., 0600) posteriormente en el proceso. Un atacante local puede competir para abrir el archivo durante esta ventana; una vez obtenido, el descriptor de archivo permanece válido y legible incluso después de que los permisos se endurezcan, exponiendo el contenido de archivos sensibles o privados."
