uutils
traccepts malformed character classes like[:fooclass:]as literal bytes, so invalid input continues processing instead of failing. GNUtrtreats unknown class names as a parse error and exits non-zero.Reproduction Steps
Impact
This is a fail-open validation bug that breaks GNU-compatible error handling.
