CVE-2026-35379
Description
A flaw was found in the tr utility of uutils coreutils. A logic error causes the program to incorrectly define the [:graph:] and [:print:] character classes, reversing their standard behavior. This vulnerability can lead to unintended data modification or loss when the utility is used in automated scripts or data-cleaning pipelines that rely on standard character class semantics. For example, commands intended to preserve whitespace while deleting graphical characters may incorrectly delete ASCII spaces, potentially resulting in data corruption or logic failures.
