Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-35362

low Nessus Plugin ID 309769

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- 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.
(CVE-2026-35362)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
