A logic error in the cut utility of uutils coreutils causes the program to incorrectly interpret the literal two-byte string '' (two single quotes) as an empty delimiter. The implementation mistakenly maps this string to the NUL character for both the -d (delimiter) and --output-delimiter options. This vulnerability can lead to silent data corruption or logic errors in automated scripts and data pipelines that process strings containing these characters, as the utility may unintentionally split or join data on NUL bytes rather than the intended literal characters.
AnalysisAI
Logic error in uutils coreutils cut utility causes incorrect interpretation of the literal two-byte string '' (two single quotes) as an empty delimiter, leading to silent data corruption when processing strings with these characters. The vulnerability affects uutils coreutils versions prior to 0.8.0 and impacts automated scripts and data pipelines that rely on precise delimiter handling, as the utility may unintentionally split or join data on NUL bytes rather than intended literal characters.
