Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for rust-coreutils.

CVE-2026-35348[0]:
| The sort utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to a process
| panic when using the --files0-from option with inputs containing
| non-UTF-8 filenames. The implementation enforces UTF-8 encoding and
| utilizes expect(), causing an immediate crash when encountering
| valid but non-UTF-8 paths. This diverges from GNU sort, which treats
| filenames as raw bytes. A local attacker can exploit this to crash
| the utility and disrupt automated pipelines.
