rust-coreutils: The cp utility in uutils coreutils fails to properly handle setuid and setgid bits when ownership preservation fails
CVE-2026-35350 is fixed in rust-coreutils on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-35350 (version 0.8.0-1), released April 22, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
The cp utility in uutils coreutils fails to properly handle setuid and setgid bits when ownership preservation fails. When copying with the -p (preserve) flag, the utility applies the source mode bits even if the chown operation is unsuccessful. This can result in a user-owned copy retaining original privileged bits, creating unexpected privileged executables that violate local security policies. This differs from GNU cp, which clears these bits when ownership cannot be preserved.
