{"id":"GHSA-xh5h-p8c5-4w4x","summary":"Duplicate Advisory: uutils coreutils has an Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding Issue","details":"### Duplicate Advisory\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-jcjr-rh8q-7xqf. This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n### Original Description\nA logic error in the ln utility of uutils coreutils causes the program to reject source paths containing non-UTF-8 filename bytes when using target-directory forms (e.g., ln SOURCE... DIRECTORY). While GNU ln treats filenames as raw bytes and creates the links correctly, the uutils implementation enforces UTF-8 encoding, resulting in a failure to stat the file and a non-zero exit code. In environments where automated scripts or system tasks process valid but non-UTF-8 filenames common on Unix filesystems, this divergence causes the utility to fail, leading to a local denial of service for those specific operations.","modified":"2026-08-24T00:36:42.920426928Z","published":"2026-04-22T18:31:46Z","withdrawn":"2026-07-06T19:53:31Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-04-30T18:00:21Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-04-22T17:16:41Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-176"],"severity":"LOW"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35373"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/11403"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"coreutils","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/coreutils"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"0.8.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/04/GHSA-xh5h-p8c5-4w4x/GHSA-xh5h-p8c5-4w4x.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}
