{"id":"GHSA-f2jv-wjjc-2c94","summary":"uutils coreutils has an Uncaught Exception When Encountering Valid but Non-UTF-8 Paths","details":"The sort utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to a process panic when using the --files0-from option with inputs containing non-UTF-8 filenames. The implementation enforces UTF-8 encoding and utilizes expect(), causing an immediate crash when encountering valid but non-UTF-8 paths. This diverges from GNU sort, which treats filenames as raw bytes. A local attacker can exploit this to crash the utility and disrupt automated pipelines.","aliases":["CVE-2026-35348"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:51:01.604358714Z","published":"2026-04-22T18:31:45Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-04-29T23:02:15Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-04-22T17:16:37Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-248"],"severity":"MODERATE"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35348"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/9696"},{"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-f2jv-wjjc-2c94/GHSA-f2jv-wjjc-2c94.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:H"}]}
