uutils coreutils printenv Security Inspection Bypass via UTF-8 Enforcement

The printenv utility in uutils coreutils fails to display environment variables containing invalid UTF-8 byte sequences. While POSIX permits arbitrary bytes in environment strings, the uutils implementation silently skips these entries rather than printing the raw bytes. This vulnerability allows malicious environment variables (e.g., adversarial LD_PRELOAD values) to evade inspection by administrators or security auditing tools, potentially allowing library injection or other environment-based attacks to go undetected.

uutils coreutils mknod Security Label Inconsistency and Broken Cleanup on SELinux Systems

The mknod utility in uutils coreutils fails to handle security labels atomically by creating device nodes before setting the SELinux context. If labeling fails, the utility attempts cleanup using std::fs::remove_dir, which cannot remove device nodes or FIFOs. This leaves mislabeled nodes behind with incorrect default contexts, potentially allowing unauthorized access to device nodes that should have been restricted by mandatory access controls.

uutils coreutils id Incorrect Access-Control Decisions via Misrepresented Group Membership

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.

tcp_metrics: validate source addr length

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp_metrics: validate source addr length I don't see anything checking that TCP_METRICS_ATTR_SADDR_IPV4 is at least 4 bytes long, and the policy doesn't have an entry for this attribute at all (neither does it for IPv6 but v6 is manually validated).
