Sending a signal to PID -1 causes the kernel to terminate all processes visible to the caller, potentially leading to a system crash or massive process termination. This differs from GNU coreutils, which correctly recognizes -1 as a signal number in this context and would instead report a missing PID argument.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-04-22T16:08:51.268+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-04-22T17:48:32.873+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"https://github.com/uutils","name":"coreutils","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"Uutils\",\n                    \"product\": \"coreutils\",\n                    \"platforms\": [\n                        \"Linux\",\n                        \"Unix\",\n                        \"macOS\"\n                    ],\n                    \"collectionURL\": \"https://github.com/uutils\",\n                    \"packageName\": \"coreutils\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"0.6.0\",\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/9700","https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/releases/tag/0.6.0"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-35369","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-35369","identifiers":["CVE-2026-35369"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
