The utility resolves the user specification via getpwnam() after entering the chroot but before dropping root privileges. On glibc-based systems, this can trigger the Name Service Switch (NSS) to load shared libraries (e.g., libnss_*.so.2) from the new root directory. If the NEWROOT is writable by an attacker, they can inject a malicious NSS module to execute arbitrary code as root, facilitating a full container escape or privilege escalation.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-04-22T17:16:40.56+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-26T21:10:00.17+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:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/10327"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35368","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Analyzed","weaknesses":["CWE-426"],"productCriteria":["cpe:2.3:a:uutils:coreutils:-:*:*:*:*:rust:*:*"],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-04-22T17:16:40.560","lastModified":"2026-10-26T21:10:00.170"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
