UBUNTU-CVE-2026-35347 (CVE-2026-35347)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2026-04-22 17:16 – Updated: 2026-05-14 11:40 – Source website

Details

The comm utility in uutils coreutils incorrectly consumes data from non-regular file inputs before performing comparison operations. The are_files_identical function opens and reads from both input paths to compare content without first verifying if the paths refer to regular files. If an input path is a FIFO or a pipe, this pre-read operation drains the stream, leading to silent data loss before the actual comparison logic is executed. Additionally, the utility may hang indefinitely if it attempts to pre-read from infinite streams like /dev/zero.

Severity

4.4 (Medium)
