Official Description

The cp utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to an information disclosure race condition. Destination files are initially created with umask-derived permissions (e.g., 0644) before being restricted to their final mode (e.g., 0600) later in the process. A local attacker can race to open the file during this window; once obtained, the file descriptor remains valid and readable even after the permissions are tightened, exposing sensitive or private file contents.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-35357 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 4.7.
