CVE-2026-35364 - uutils coreutils mv Arbitrary File Overwrite via Cross-Device TOCTOU Race Condition

CVE ID :CVE-2026-35364
Published : April 22, 2026, 5:16 p.m. | 24 minutes ago
Description :A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition exists in the mv utility of uutils coreutils during cross-device operations. The utility removes the destination path before recreating it through a copy operation. A local attacker with write access to the destination directory can exploit this window to replace the destination with a symbolic link. The subsequent privileged move operation will follow the symlink, allowing the attacker to redirect the write and overwrite an arbitrary target file with contents from the source.
Severity: 6.3 | MEDIUM
