Unlike GNU tail, the uutils implementation continues to monitor a path after it has been replaced by a symbolic link, subsequently outputting the contents of the link's target.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.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-04-22T17:16:36.627+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-06-17T10:40:25.943+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security@ubuntu.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","score":5.3,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/10328"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35345","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Analyzed","weaknesses":["CWE-59","CWE-367"],"productCriteria":["cpe:2.3:a:uutils:coreutils:-:*:*:*:*:rust:*:*"],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-04-22T17:16:36.627","lastModified":"2026-06-17T10:40:25.943"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
