CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
Exploitability: 0.8 / Impact: 3.4
Source: security@ubuntu.com (Secondary)
Description
The mv utility in uutils coreutils fails to preserve file ownership during moves across different filesystem boundaries. The utility falls back to a copy-and-delete routine that creates the destination file using the caller's UID/GID rather than the source's metadata. This flaw breaks backups and migrations, causing files moved by a privileged user (e.g., root) to become root-owned unexpectedly, which can lead to information disclosure or restricted access for the intended owners.
