Duplicate Advisory: uutils coreutils has an Issue With its Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-wv33-5pxh-r7j7. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

The cut utility in uutils coreutils incorrectly handles the -s (only-delimited) option when a newline character is specified as the delimiter. The implementation fails to verify the only_delimited flag in the cut_fields_newline_char_delim function, causing the utility to print non-delimited lines that should have been suppressed. This can lead to unexpected data being passed to downstream scripts that rely on strict output filtering.
