CVE-2026-35355 is fixed in rust-coreutils on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-35355 (version 0.6.0-1), released April 22, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
The install utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition during file installation. The implementation unlinks an existing destination file and then recreates it using a path-based operation without the O_EXCL flag. A local attacker can exploit the window between the unlink and the subsequent creation to swap the path with a symbolic link, allowing them to redirect privileged writes to overwrite arbitrary system files.
