columnar: `Read` on uninitialized buffer may cause UB (ColumnarReadExt::read_typed_vec())

Affected versions of this crate passes an uninitialized buffer to a user-provided Read implementation ColumnarReadExt::readtypedvec. Arbitrary Read implementations can read from the uninitialized buffer memory exposure and also can return incorrect number of bytes written to the buffer. Reading...

SyncRef's clone() and debug() allow data races

Affected versions of this crate unconditionally implement Sync for SyncRef. This definition allows data races if &T is accessible through &SyncRef. SyncRef derives Clone and Debug, and the default implementations of those traits access &T by invoking T::clone & T::fmt. It is possible to create da...

Thex<T> allows data races of non-Send types across threads

thex::Thex implements Sync for all types T. However, it is missing a bound for T: Send. This allows non-Send types such as Rc to be sent across thread boundaries which can trigger undefined behavior and memory corruption...

Argument injection in sendmail transport

Affected versions of lettre allowed argument injection to the sendmail command. It was possible, using forged to addresses, to pass arbitrary arguments to the sendmail executable. Depending on the implementation original sendmail, postfix, exim, etc. it could be possible in some cases to write...

Potential segfault in `localtime_r` invocations

Impact Unix-like operating systems may segfault due to dereferencing a dangling pointer in specific circumstances. This requires an environment variable to be set in a different thread than the affected functions. This may occur without the user's knowledge, notably in a third-party library...

Undefined Behavior in bounded channel

The affected version of this crate's the bounded channel incorrectly assumes that Vec::fromiter has allocated capacity that same as the number of iterator elements. Vec::fromiter does not actually guarantee that and may allocate extra memory. The destructor of the bounded channel reconstructs Vec...

HTTP Request smuggling through malformed Transfer Encoding headers

HTTP pipelining issues and request smuggling attacks are possible due to incorrect Transfer encoding header parsing. It is possible conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks CL:TE/TE:TE by sending invalid Transfer Encoding headers. By manipulating the HTTP response the attacker could poison a...

Type confusion if __private_get_type_id__ is overridden

Safe Rust code can implement malfunctioning privategettypeid and cause type confusion when downcasting, which is an undefined behavior. Users who derive Fail trait are not affected...

Hostname verification skipped when custom root certs used

If custom root certificates were registered with a ClientBuilder, the hostname of the target server would not be validated against its presented leaf certificate. This issue was fixed by properly configuring the trust evaluation logic to perform that check...

rust-crypto is unmaintained; switch to a modern alternative

The rust-crypto crate has not seen a release or GitHub commit since 2016, and its author is unresponsive. NOTE: The old rust-crypto crate with hyphen should not be confused with similarly named new RustCrypto GitHub Org without hyphen. The GitHub Org is actively maintained. We recommend you switc...

mXSS in ammonia via MathML `annotation-xml` encoding strip

If a certain set of MathML tags are enabled, an attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the user's browser. The annotation-xml tag has slightly different behavior than the other "integration point" tags in MathML and SVG, but ammonia didn't handle it, so it didn't correctly strip the...

Possible use after free when deserializing a SQLite database via `SqliteConnection::deserialize_readonly_database`

Diesel allows loading a SQLite database from a byte buffer, represented as &u8, at runtime via the SqliteConnection::deserializereadonlydatabase function. In previous versions of Diesel, this buffer was passed directly to libsqlite3. Since libsqlite3 requires the buffer to remain alive for as lon...

WASI path_open(TRUNCATE) bypasses `FilePerms::WRITE` host restriction

This is an entry in the RustSec database for the Wasmtime security advisory located at https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/security/advisories/GHSA-2r75-cxrj-cmph For more information see the GitHub-hosted security advisory...

`InterfaceAccount` allows account substitution between unexpected types

Affected versions of anchor-lang allowed InterfaceAccount to accept accounts with an unexpected Anchor discriminator. A change to InterfaceAccount caused checked deserialization to be bypassed for this account wrapper, so validation proved only that the account owner matched one of the accepted...

Use-After-Free and Double Free in IntoIter::drop When Element Drop Panics

A Double Free / Use-After-Free UAF vulnerability has been identified in the IntoIter::drop and ThinVec::clear implementations of the thin-vec crate. Both vulnerabilities share the same root cause and can trigger memory corruption using only safe Rust code - no unsafe blocks required. Undefined...

Name constraints were accepted for certificates asserting a wildcard name

Permitted subtree name constraints for DNS names were accepted for certificates asserting a wildcard name. This was incorrect because, given a name constraint of accept.example.com, .example.com could feasibly allow a name of reject.example.com which is outside the constraint. This is very simila...

`polymarkets-rs-clob-client` was removed from crates.io for malicious code

This is part of an ongoing campaign to attempt to typosquat crates in the polymarket-client-sdk ecosystem to exfiltrate user credentials. The malicious crate had 1 version published on 2026-02-19 approximately 20 hours before removal and had no evidence of actual downloads. There were no crates...

Missing Check for All-Zero X25519 Shared Secret

Computing an X25519 shared secret with x25519dalek::StaticSecret::diffiehellman does not include the check that the key exchange was contributory, i.e. does not ensure on its own that the resulting shared secret is non-zero. Impact RFC 9180 mandates that implementations of HPKE must check for all...

`openssl` `X509NameBuilder::build` returned object is not thread safe

OpenSSL has a modified bit that it can set on on X509NAME objects. If this bit is set then the object is not thread-safe even when it appears the code is not modifying the value. Thanks to David Benjamin Google for reporting this issue...

Slack Webhooks secrets leak in debug logs

Debug log formatting made it possible to leak Webhooks secrets into debug logs. The patched version has introduced more strict checks to avoid this...

Panic due to improper UTF-8 indexing

When parsing untrusted rulex expressions, rulex may panic, possibly enabling a Denial of Service attack. This happens when the expression contains a multi- byte UTF-8 code point in a string literal or after a backslash, because rulex tries to slice into the code point and panics as a result. The...

Incorrect Lifetime Bounds on Closures in `rusqlite`

The lifetime bound on several closure-accepting rusqlite functions specifically, functions which register a callback to be later invoked by SQLite was too relaxed. If a closure referencing borrowed values on the stack is was passed to one of these functions, it could allow Rust code to access...

Uncontrolled Search Path Element in sharkdp/bat

Use after free possible in `uri::Formatter` on panic

Affected versions of this crate transmuted a &str to a &'static str before pushing it into a StackVec, this value was then popped later in the same function. This was assumed to be safe because the reference would be valid while the method's stack was active. In between the push and the pop,...

FromIterator implementation for Vector/Matrix can drop uninitialized memory

The FromIterator methods for Vector and Matrix rely on the type parameter N to allocate space in the iterable. If the passed in N type parameter is larger than the number of items returned by the iterator, it can lead to uninitialized memory being left in the Vector or Matrix type which gets...

Update unsound DrainFilter and RString::retain

Affected versions of this crate contained code from the Rust standard library that contained soundness bugs rust-lang/rust60977 double drop & rust-lang/rust78498 create invalid utf-8 string. The flaw was corrected in v0.9.1 by making a similar fix to the one made in the Rust standard library...

hashconsing's HConsed lacks Send/Sync bound for its Send/Sync trait.

Affected versions of hashconsing implements Send/Sync for its HConsed type without restricting it to Sendable types and Syncable types. This allows non-Sync types such as Cell to be shared across threads leading to undefined behavior and memory corruption in concurrent programs...

MutexGuard::map can cause a data race in safe code

Affected versions of the crate had a Send/Sync implementation for MappedMutexGuard that only considered variance on T, while MappedMutexGuard dereferenced to U. This could of led to data races in safe Rust code when a closure used in MutexGuard::map returns U that is unrelated to T. The issue was...

Flaw in offset_of and span_of causes SIGILL, drops uninitialized memory of arbitrary type on panic in client code

Affected versions of this crate caused traps and/or memory unsafety by zero-initializing references. They also could lead to uninitialized memory being dropped if the field for which the offset is requested was behind a deref coercion, and that deref coercion caused a panic. The flaw was correcte...

Buffer overflow and format vulnerabilities in functions exposed without unsafe

ncurses exposes functions from the ncurses library which: - Pass buffers without length to C functions that may write an arbitrary amount of data, leading to a buffer overflow. instr, mvwinstr, etc - Passes rust &str to strings expecting C format arguments, allowing hostile input to execute a...

Affected versions of the OpenSSL crate used structures after they'd been freed...

scalarmult() vulnerable to degenerate public keys

The scalarmult function included in previous versions of this crate accepted all-zero public keys, for which the resulting Diffie-Hellman shared secret will always be zero regardless of the private key used. This issue was fixed by checking for this class of keys and rejecting them if they are us...

headers containing newline characters can split messages

Serializing of headers to the socket did not filter the values for newline bytes \r or \n, which allowed for header values to split a request or response. People would not likely include newlines in the headers in their own applications, so the way for most people to exploit this is if an...

HTTPS MitM vulnerability due to lack of hostname verification

When used on Windows platforms, all versions of Hyper prior to 0.9.4 did not perform hostname verification when making HTTPS requests. This allows an attacker to perform MitM attacks by preventing any valid CA-issued certificate, even if there's a hostname mismatch. The problem was addressed by...

`rustybuzz` is unmaintained

The current maintainer of rustybuzz has stated that the crate is unmaintained and will not receive further fixes or updates see the referenced issue. Alternatives - harfrust, an actively maintained and updated alternative which is part of the Harfbuzz project...

`let_cxx_string!` uses uninitialized value due to exception safety violations

In affected versions of this crate, letcxxstring! is not exception safe. After creating the StackString, if match $value panics, the content of StackString is not yet initialized, while the drop implementation of StackString unconditionally deinitializes the content, leading to use of uninitializ...

`pqcrypto-mldsa` is unmaintained: upstream PQClean project being archived

This crate provides Rust bindings to ML-DSA FIPS 204 via C implementations from PQClean. The PQClean project is being archived in or after July 2026 see PQClean/PQClean604, after which no further security patches or bug fixes will be applied to the upstream implementations. As a result, this crat...

TLS hostname verification disabled when using Boring TLS backend

An inverted-boolean bug in lettre's boring-tls integration silently disables TLS hostname verification for callers using the default strict configuration. An on-path attacker presenting any chain-valid certificate for any domain can intercept SMTP submission, including PLAIN/LOGIN credentials and...

CPU exhaustion during message encoding due to O(n²) name compression

During message encoding, hickory-proto's BinEncoder stores pointers to labels that are candidates for name compression in a Vec. The name compression logic then searches for matches with a linear scan. A malicious message with many records can both introduce many candidate labels, and invoke this...

Unsound transmute while debug/display printing batch Insert statements in Diesel's SQLite backend

Diesel allows users to output the generated SQL for any query DSL construct via th diesel::debugquery function as Display and Debug output. For the particular implementation used by batch Insert statements in the SQLite backend Diesel relied on an unspecified transmute between types with a reprru...

Unsound access to padding bytes while serializing date/time values using the Mysql backend

Diesel relies on libmysqlclient for interacting with Mysql compatible databases. This library requires to provide date/time values according to the byte layout of their MYSQLTIME type. Diesel replicated this type as reprC struct, populated all the fields of this struct and then casted this value ...

cve-rs introduces memory vulnerabilities in safe Rust

This crate is a joke and should never be used. cve-rs provides demonstrations of common memory vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows and segfaults implemented completely within safe Rust. Internally, this crate does not use unsafe code, it instead exploits a soundness bug in rustc:...

Stack overflow during recursive expression parsing

When parsing untrusted rulex expressions, the stack may overflow, possibly enabling a Denial of Service attack. This happens when parsing an expression with several hundred levels of nesting, causing the process to abort immediately. The flaw was corrected in commits 60aa2dc03a by adding a check ...

Data race when sending and receiving after closing a `oneshot` channel

If a tokio::sync::oneshot channel is closed via the oneshot::Receiver::close method, a data race may occur if the oneshot::Sender::send method is called while the corresponding oneshot::Receiver is awaited or calling tryrecv. When these methods are called concurrently on a closed channel, the two...

abomonation transmutes &T to and from &[u8] without sufficient constraints

This transmute is at the core of the abomonation crates. It's so easy to use it to violate alignment requirements that no test in the crate's test suite passes under miri. The use of this transmute in serialization/deserialization also incorrectly assumes that the layout of a reprRust type is...
