CVE-2026-35343

The cut utility in uutils coreutils incorrectly handles the -s (only-delimited) option when a newline character is specified as the delimiter. The implementation fails to verify the only_delimited flag in the cut_fields_newline_char_delim function, causing the utility to print non-delimited lines that should have been suppressed. This can lead to unexpected data being passed to downstream scripts that rely on strict output filtering.

Summary		(es) La utilidad cut en uutils coreutils maneja incorrectamente la opción -s (solo delimitado) cuando se especifica un carácter de nueva línea como delimitador. La implementación falla al verificar la bandera only_delimited en la función cut_fields_newline_char_delim, lo que provoca que la utilidad imprima líneas no delimitadas que deberían haber sido suprimidas. Esto puede llevar a que se pasen datos inesperados a scripts posteriores que dependen de un filtrado de salida estricto.
