{"id":"GHSA-v762-x3cf-5mfg","summary":"Duplicate Advisory: uutils coreutils has a Link Following Issue Via rm Utility","details":"### Duplicate Advisory\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-7cr3-h577-g38j. This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n### Original Description\nA vulnerability in the rm utility of uutils coreutils allows a bypass of the --preserve-root protection. The implementation uses a path-string check rather than comparing device and inode numbers to identify the root directory. An attacker or accidental user can bypass this safeguard by using a symbolic link that resolves to the root directory (e.g., /tmp/rootlink -\u003e /), potentially leading to the unintended recursive deletion of the entire root filesystem.","modified":"2026-09-10T03:51:03.209755081Z","published":"2026-04-22T18:31:45Z","withdrawn":"2026-07-06T20:15:20Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":"2026-04-22T17:16:37Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-59"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-04-29T23:13:17Z"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35349"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/9706"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/commit/5e5968cdbc6618acd6c2402a8a98b503f278835e"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/releases/tag/0.7.0"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"coreutils","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/coreutils"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.7.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/04/GHSA-v762-x3cf-5mfg/GHSA-v762-x3cf-5mfg.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H"}]}
