Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-35370

medium Nessus Plugin ID 309827

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 id utility in uutils coreutils miscalculates the groups= section of its output. The implementation uses a user's real GID instead of their effective GID to compute the group list, leading to potentially divergent output compared to GNU coreutils. Because many scripts and automated processes rely on the output of id to make security-critical access-control or permission decisions, this discrepancy can lead to unauthorized access or security misconfigurations. (CVE-2026-35370)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
