Sending a signal to PID -1 causes the kernel to terminate all processes visible to the caller, potentially leading to a system crash or massive process termination. This differs from GNU coreutils, which correctly recognizes -1 as a signal number in this context and would instead report a missing PID argument.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-20"],"references":["https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/9700","https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/releases/tag/0.6.0"],"products":["uutils:coreutils"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-25T23:44:33.281319194+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-35369","score":0.00128,"percentile":0.02404,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-p6rv-2qpm-fwvg","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-p6rv-2qpm-fwvg","summary":"kill: 'kill -1' parsed as PID -1, sending SIGTERM to all processes (system crash / DoS)","modified":"2026-07-06T20:11:15.946789Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"uu_kill","purl":"pkg:cargo/uu_kill","ranges":["<0.6.0"],"fixed":["0.6.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
