Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-gwm6-q8ch-hcfr. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
Original Description
A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability exists in the install utility of uutils coreutils when using the -D flag. The command creates parent directories and subsequently performs a second path resolution to create the target file, neither of which is anchored to a directory file descriptor. An attacker with concurrent write access can replace a path component with a symbolic link between these operations, redirecting the privileged write to an arbitrary file system location.
