Lack of data validation - Path Traversal In rust-coreutils
Description
The safe_traversal module in uutils coreutils, which provides protection against Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) symlink races using file-descriptor-relative syscalls, is incorrectly limited to Linux targets. On other Unix-like systems such as macOS and FreeBSD, the utility fails to utilize these protections, leaving directory traversal operations vulnerable to symlink race conditions.
Mitigation
Update Impact
Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
