Duplicate Advisory: uutils coreutils allows users to bypass the --preserve-root safety mechanism
### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-4c7q-4928-8445. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description A vulnerability in the chmod utility of uutils coreutils allows users to bypass the --preserve-root safety mechanism. The implementation only validates if the target path is literally / and does not canonicalize the path. An attacker or accidental user can use path variants such as /../ or symbolic links to execute destructive recursive operations (e.g., chmod -R 000) on the entire root filesystem, leading to system-wide permission loss and potential complete system breakdown.
