{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-35345","details":"A vulnerability in the tail utility of uutils coreutils allows for the exfiltration of sensitive file contents when using the --follow=name option. Unlike GNU tail, the uutils implementation continues to monitor a path after it has been replaced by a symbolic link, subsequently outputting the contents of the link's target. In environments where a privileged user (e.g., root) monitors a log directory, a local attacker with write access to that directory can replace a log file with a symlink to a sensitive system file (such as /etc/shadow), causing tail to disclose the contents of the sensitive file.","modified":"2026-09-21T21:39:22.476889865Z","published":"2026-04-22T17:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-35345"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-35345"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-35345"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/10328"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rust-coreutils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/rust-coreutils?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.0.20-1","0.0.22-1","0.0.23-1","0.0.23-2","0.0.23-3","0.0.24-1","0.0.24-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"rust-coreutils","binary_version":"0.0.24-2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-35345.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rust-coreutils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/rust-coreutils?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.0.30-1","0.0.30-2","0.0.30-2ubuntu2","0.1.0-0ubuntu1","0.1.0+git20250711.2ba3a33-0ubuntu1","0.1.0+git20250711.2ba3a33-0ubuntu2","0.1.0+git20250711.2ba3a33-0ubuntu3","0.1.0+git20250711.2ba3a33-0ubuntu4","0.1.0+git20250801.cf79675-0ubuntu1","0.1.0+git20250813.4af2a84-0ubuntu2","0.1.0+git20250813.4af2a84-0ubuntu4","0.1.0+git20250813.4af2a84-0ubuntu6","0.1.0+git20250813.4af2a84-0ubuntu7","0.2.2-0ubuntu1","0.2.2-0ubuntu2","0.2.2-0ubuntu2.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"rust-coreutils","binary_version":"0.2.2-0ubuntu2.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-35345.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rust-coreutils","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/rust-coreutils?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.2.2-0ubuntu2","0.2.2-0ubuntu4","0.5.0-0ubuntu1","0.5.0-0ubuntu2","0.6.0-0ubuntu1","0.7.0-0ubuntu1","0.8.0-0ubuntu3","0.10.0-1ubuntu2~26.04.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.10.0-1ubuntu2~26.04.1","binary_name":"rust-coreutils"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-35345.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
