AI-suggested

A patch is available in version 0.10.0-1ubuntu1 of rust-coreutils. Users should upgrade to this version or later to resolve the issue. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official fix.

Description

The dd utility in the Rust uutils coreutils package suppresses errors during file truncation by unconditionally ignoring truncation failures. This behavior, intended to mimic GNU coreutils for special files, also hides errors on regular files and directories caused by full disks or read-only file systems. As a result, backup or migration scripts using dd may silently fail to truncate files properly, leading to silent data corruption where old or garbage data remains in the destination file. A fix is available in version 0.10.0-1ubuntu1.
