Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

`cut` routes `-z -d ''` through a special newline-delimiter path that ignores the `-s` only-delimited flag, emitting whole undelimited records (plus NUL) that should be suppressed. Pipelines relying on `cut -s` to drop undelimited records process data that should be filtered. ``` printf 'abc' | cut -z -d '' -s -f 1 | od -An -tx1 # GNU: no output ; uutils: 61 62 63 00 ``` --- _Zellic private finding (zellic-ext/coreutils-private PR #102). Reported in the Zellic *uutils coreutils Program Security Assessment* (for Canonical, Jan 2026), audited commit `3a07ffc5a9bd4c283e75afa548ba1f1957bad242`._
