How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:26.04 rust-coreutils.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rust-coreutils package and not the rust-coreutils package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:26.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability in the rm utility of uutils coreutils allows the bypass of safeguard mechanisms intended to protect the current directory. While the utility correctly refuses to delete . or .., it fails to recognize equivalent paths with trailing slashes, such as ./ or .///. An accidental or malicious execution of rm -rf ./ results in the silent recursive deletion of all contents within the current directory. The command further obscures the data loss by reporting a misleading 'Invalid input' error, which may cause users to miss the critical window for data recovery.
