In GNU env, backslashes within single quotes are treated literally (with the exceptions of \\\\ and \\'). However, the uutils implementation incorrectly attempts to validate these sequences, resulting in an \"invalid sequence\" error and an immediate process termination with an exit status of 125 when encountering valid but unrecognized sequences like \\a or \\x. This divergence from GNU behavior breaks compatibility for automated scripts and administrative workflows that rely on standard split-string semantics, leading to a local denial of service for those operations.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-04-22T17:16:42.577+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:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","score":3.3,"severity":"LOW"}],"references":["https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/11512"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35377","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Analyzed","weaknesses":["CWE-20"],"productCriteria":["cpe:2.3:a:uutils:coreutils:-:*:*:*:*:rust:*:*"],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-04-22T17:16:42.577","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.
