AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, users should be aware of the potential for misleading output from the id utility when real and effective UIDs differ and verify user identity information through alternative means if necessary.

Description

The id utility in rust-coreutils (uutils coreutils) has a flaw in its "pretty print" output when the real UID and effective UID differ. It incorrectly uses the effective GID instead of the effective UID for name lookup of the effective user, causing misleading output. This may lead to incorrect decisions by scripts or administrators regarding file permissions or access control. The issue affects multiple specific versions of rust-coreutils. The severity is low with no confidentiality or availability impact reported.
