Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for rust-coreutils.

CVE-2026-35351[0]:
| The mv utility in uutils coreutils fails to preserve file ownership
| during moves across different filesystem boundaries. The utility
| falls back to a copy-and-delete routine that creates the destination
| file using the caller's UID/GID rather than the source's metadata.
| This flaw breaks backups and migrations, causing files moved by a
| privileged user (e.g., root) to become root-owned unexpectedly,
| which can lead to information disclosure or restricted access for
| the intended owners.
