Summary

Duplicate Advisory: uutils coreutils Uses Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference

Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-8vrf-r662-2w2v. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

The cp utility in uutils coreutils, when performing recursive copies (-R), incorrectly treats character and block device nodes as stream sources rather than preserving them. Because the implementation reads bytes into regular files at the destination instead of using mknod, device semantics are destroyed (e.g., /dev/null becomes a regular file). This behavior can lead to runtime denial of service through disk exhaustion or process hangs when reading from unbounded device nodes.
