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.
AnalysisAI
Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) symlink race condition vulnerability in uutils coreutils affects directory traversal operations on macOS and FreeBSD because the safe_traversal module's file-descriptor-relative syscall protections are incorrectly limited to Linux targets only. Local authenticated attackers with limited privileges can exploit this race condition to read or modify files via symlink manipulation, though exploitation requires specific timing conditions and is not automatable. …
