Hi, The following vulnerability was published for rust-coreutils. CVE-2026-35360[0]: | The touch utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to a Time-of- | Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition during file creation. | When the utility identifies a missing path, it later attempts | creation using File::create(), which internally uses O_TRUNC. An | attacker can exploit this window to create a file or swap a symlink | at the target path, causing touch to truncate an existing file and | leading to permanent data loss. https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/10019 If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry. For further information see: [0] https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-35360 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-35360 Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.
