{"id":"CVE-2026-35369","aliases":["GHSA-p6rv-2qpm-fwvg"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-35369","summary":"uutils coreutils kill System-wide Process Termination and Denial of Service via Argument Misinterpretation","details":"An argument parsing error in the kill utility of uutils coreutils incorrectly interprets kill -1 as a request to send the default signal (SIGTERM) to PID -1. Sending a signal to PID -1 causes the kernel to terminate all processes visible to the caller, potentially leading to a system crash or massive process termination. This differs from GNU coreutils, which correctly recognizes -1 as a signal number in this context and would instead report a missing PID argument.","published":"2026-04-22T16:08:51.268Z","modified":"2026-08-05T03:32:32.677450510Z","cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"uu_kill","fixedVersion":"0.6.0"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/9700","label":"uutils/coreutils#9700"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/uutils"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/35xxx/CVE-2026-35369.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/releases/tag/0.6.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35369"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/9700"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-05T03:32:32.677450510Z"}}
