CVE-2026-35344 Details
Description
The dd utility in uutils coreutils suppresses errors during file truncation operations by unconditionally calling Result::ok() on truncation attempts. While intended to mimic GNU behavior for special files like /dev/null, the uutils implementation also hides failures on regular files and directories caused by full disks or read-only file systems. This can lead to silent data corruption in backup or migration scripts, as the utility may report a successful operation even when the destination file contains old or garbage data.
A vulnerability exists in the dd utility of uutils coreutils, where errors during file truncation are suppressed. The utility unconditionally calls Result::ok() on truncation attempts, which is meant to replicate GNU behavior for special files like /dev/null. However, this implementation also conceals errors on regular files and directories when disks are full or file systems are read-only. As a result, backup or migration scripts may experience silent data corruption, reporting successful operations while the destination file actually contains outdated or irrelevant data.
