The dirs crate is not maintained any more; use dirs-next instead...

Unchecked vector pre-allocation

Affected versions of this crate pre-allocate memory on deserializing raw buffers without checking whether there is sufficient data available. This allows an attacker to do denial-of-service attacks by sending small msgpack messages that allocate gigabytes of memory...

Low-level GCM ignores the operation nonce

In all published versions of dcrypt-algorithms before 2.0.0, the low-level Gcm builder required an operation nonce but derived J0 from the nonce captured by the original Gcm constructor. Multiple operations could therefore silently reuse a nonce even when callers supplied distinct values,...

NIP-98 authorization parsing permits resource exhaustion

The NIP-98 HTTP authorization parser Base64-decoded the complete authorization value and parsed the resulting JSON event without applying an application-level size limit. Both operations occurred before the event's signature and authorization fields could be validated. An unauthenticated remote...

Invalid pointer dereference in `fmt::Pointer` impl for `Atomic` and `Shared` when the underlying pointer is invalid

Affected versions of fmt::Display dereference the underlying pointer. This causes a invalid pointer dereference e.g., when a pointer created with Atomic::null or Shared::null. fmt::Debug impls and pre-0.9 fmt::Display impls, which do not dereference pointers, are not affected by this issue...

`Array::insert` violates exception safety if compare function panics, leading to potential Double-Free

In affected versions of this crate, Array::insert is not exception safe. In the UPSERT path, key and value's snapshot is written to self.datablock, and after the insertion is completed, key and value are mem::forget in order to prevent double free. However, during the insertion, K::compare is...

Unbounded page slicing from attacker-controlled CSS height causes denial of service

fulgur converts untrusted HTML/CSS into PDF, commonly on a server that processes input supplied by many tenants. In versions prior to 0.19.0, a body-direct child whose CSS-resolved height greatly exceeds the page height was sliced into one fragment per page with no upper bound. The height is take...

`Report::frames_mut` allows aliased mutable references

Affected versions of this crate return an iterator from Report::framesmut whose &mut Frame items have lifetimes independent of the iterator, so all yielded references can be held at the same time. A yielded frame's sources are also yielded by the iterator and reachable through the parent frame vi...

Crafted archives can cause a use-after-free during deserialization

Insufficient archive range validation could allow a crafted archive to reach ArchivedString::deserialize with an invalid pointer. A reported reproducer used rkyv::frombytes to deserialize a struct containing strings, a vector, a box, and an optional hash map. AddressSanitizer detected a heap...

NSEC3 closest-encloser proof validation enters unbounded loop on cross-zone responses

The NSEC3 closest-encloser proof validation in hickory-proto's DnssecDnsHandle walks from the QNAME up to the SOA owner name, building a list of candidate encloser names. The iterator used assumes the QNAME is a descendant of the SOA owner, terminating only when the current candidate equals the S...

Panic when transcoding misaligned component model UTF-16 strings

`time_calibrators` was removed from crates.io due to malicious code

The timecalibrators crate attempted to exfiltrate .env files to a server that was in turn impersonating the legitimate timeapi.io service. The malicious crate had 1 version published on 2026-03-03 approximately 3 hours before removal and had no evidence of actual downloads. There were no crates...

Potential undefined behavior when dereferencing Buf struct

if we dereference the Buf struct right after calling new or default on Buf struct, it passes Null Pointer to the unsafe function slice::fromrawparts. Based on the safety section documentation of function, data must be non-null and aligned even for zero-length slices or slices of ZSTs. Thus, passi...

theshit vulnerable to unsafe loading of user-owned Python rules when running as root

The application loads custom Python rules and configuration files from user-writable locations e.g., /.config/theshit/ without validating ownership or permissions when executed with elevated privileges. If the tool is invoked with sudo or otherwise runs with an effective UID of root, it continues...

Non-utf8 String can be created with `TimeBuf::as_str`

The function gixdate::parse::TimeBuf::asstr can create an illegal string containing non-utf8 characters. This violates the safety invariant of TimeBuf and can lead to undefined behavior when consuming the string. The bug can be prevented by adding str::fromutf8 to the function TimeBuf::write...

`finch-rust` was removed from crates.io for malicious code

Out-of-bounds memory access in binary_read_to_ref and binary_write_from_ref

Safe functions accept a single &T or &mut T but multiply by n to create slices extending beyond allocated memory when n 1. These functions use fromrawparts to create slices larger than the underlying allocation, violating memory safety. The binaryvecio repository is archived and unmaintained...

Uninitialized memory exposure in string reading functions

Multiple string reading functions expose uninitialized memory by setting length to capacity when no null terminator is found. This allows reading uninitialized memory which may contain sensitive data from previous allocations. The ncurses-rs repository is archived and unmaintained...

`statsrelay-protobuf` was removed from crates.io for malicious code

statsrelay-protobuf was part of a campaign that attempted to exfiltrate environmental data from the host. The malicious crate had 1 version published in August 2025, and had no evidence of actual usage. This crate had no dependencies on crates.io...

i_tree allowed out-of-bounds access through safe public node accessors

Affected versions of itree exposed safe public Tree::node and Tree::mutnode methods in the public tree module. These methods accepted an arbitrary u32 index and passed it directly to Vec::getunchecked / getuncheckedmut on the internal node buffer, without validating that the index was in bounds...

Openh264 Decoding Functions Heap Overflow Vulnerability

OpenH264 recently reported a heap overflow that was fixed in upstream 63db555 and integrated into our 0.6.6 release. For users relying on Cisco's pre-compiled DLL, we also published 0.8.0, which is compatible with their latest fixed DLL version 2.6.0. In other words: - if you rely on our source...

Dump Undefined Memory by `JitDumpFile`

The unsound function dumpcodeloadrecord uses fromrawparts to directly convert the pointer addr and len into a slice without any validation and that memory block would be dumped. Thus, the 'safe' function dumpcodeloadrecord is actually 'unsafe' since it requires the caller to guarantee that the ad...

Sequential calls of encryption API (`encrypt`, `wrap`, and `dump`) result in nonce reuse

Problem: Trying to create a new encrypted message with the same cocoon object generates the same ciphertext. It mostly affects MiniCocoon and Cocoon objects with custom seeds and RNGs where StdRng is used under the hood. Note: The issue does NOT affect objects created with Cocoon::new which...

libwebp: OOB write in BuildHuffmanTable

Google and Mozilla have released security advisories for RCE due to heap overflow in libwebp. Google warns the vulnerability has been exploited in the wild. libwebp needs to be updated to 1.3.2 to include a patch for "OOB write in BuildHuffmanTable"...

Force cast a &Vec<T> to &[T]

In function Table::asref, a reference of vector is force cast to slice. There are multiple problems here: 1. To guarantee the size is correct, we have to first do Vec::shrinktofit. The function requires a mutable reference, so we have to force cast from immutable to mutable, which is UB. 2. Even ...

Denial of service on EVM execution due to memory over-allocation

Prior to the patch, when executing specific EVM opcodes related to memory operations that use evmcore::Memory::copylarge, the crate can over-allocate memory when it is not needed, making it possible for an attacker to perform denial-of-service attack. The flaw was corrected in commit 19ade85...

AtomicBucket<T> unconditionally implements Send/Sync

In the affected versions of the crate, AtomicBucket unconditionally implements Send/Sync traits. Therefore, users can create a data race to the inner T: !Sync by using the AtomicBucket::datawith API. Such data races can potentially cause memory corruption or other undefined behavior. The flaw was...

This issue and vector is similar to RUSTSEC-2020-0029 of rgb crate which mozjpeg depends on.

Examples of safety violation possible for...
