Duplicate Advisory: uutils coreutils has a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition
📋 Description
Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-w6xc-g9qj-vp32. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
Original Description
The safe_traversal module in uutils coreutils, which provides protection against Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) symlink races using file-descriptor-relative syscalls, is incorrectly limited to Linux targets. On other Unix-like systems such as macOS and FreeBSD, the utility fails to utilize these protections, leaving directory traversal operations vulnerable to symlink race conditions.
