The cp utility in uutils coreutils is vulnerable to an information disclosure race condition. Destination files are initially created with umask-derived permissions (e.g., 0644) before being restricted to their final mode (e.g., 0600) later in the process. A local attacker can race to open the file during this window; once obtained, the file descriptor remains valid and readable even after the permissions are tightened, exposing sensitive or private file contents.
AnalysisAI
The cp utility in uutils coreutils exposes sensitive file contents through a race condition where destination files are created with overly permissive umask-derived permissions before being restricted to their final restrictive mode. A local authenticated attacker can open the file during this narrow window to obtain a valid file descriptor that remains readable even after permissions are tightened, bypassing intended access controls. …
