Until a fix is available, restrict local user access and avoid running the vulnerable cp utility in untrusted environments.

Description

The cp utility in the uutils coreutils Rust implementation has an information disclosure vulnerability due to a race condition. When creating destination files, initial permissions are set based on the umask (e.g., 0644) before being restricted to the intended final mode (e.g., 0600). A local attacker can exploit the time window between these permission changes to open and read the file descriptor, which remains valid even after permissions are tightened, potentially exposing sensitive file contents.
