NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream uutils package and not the uutils package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

The nohup utility in uutils coreutils creates its default output file, nohup.out, without specifying explicit restricted permissions. This causes the file to inherit umask-based permissions, typically resulting in a world-readable file (0644). In multi-user environments, this allows any user on the system to read the captured stdout/stderr output of a command, potentially exposing sensitive information. This behavior diverges from GNU coreutils, which creates nohup.out with owner-only (0600) permissions.
