Adverserial use of `make_bitflags!` macro can cause undefined behavior

The macro relied on an expression of the form Enum::Variant always being a variant of the enum. However, it may also be an associated integer constant, in which case there's no guarantee that the value of said constant consists only of bits valid for this bitflag type. Thus, code like this could...

CVE-2023-30620 Arbitrary File Write when Extracting a Remotely retrieved Tarball in mindsdb/mindsdb

mindsdb is a Machine Learning platform to help developers build AI solutions. In affected versions an unsafe extraction is being performed using tarfile.extractall from a remotely retrieved tarball. Which may lead to the writing of the extracted files to an unintended location. Sometimes, the...
