Tracker summary

CVE-2026-35345 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (rust-coreutils), 4 status rows across 4 suites (bookworm, forky, sid, trixie): open 4.

Description:

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 Unlike GNU tail, the uutils implementation continues to monitor a path after it has been replaced by a symbolic link, subsequently outputting the contents of the link's target.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.
