`pnet_packet` buffer overrun in `set_payload` setters

As indicated by this issue, a buffer overrun is possible in the setpayload setter of the various mutable "Packet" struct setters. The offending setpayload functions were defined within the struct impl blocks in earlier versions of the package, and later by the packet macro. Fixed in the packet...

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...

Allows viewing and modifying arbitrary structs as bytes

Affected versions of rgb crate allow viewing and modifying data of any type T wrapped in RGB as bytes, and do not correctly constrain RGB and other wrapper structures to the types for which it is safe to do so. Safety violation possible for a type wrapped in RGB and similar wrapper structures: If...

Improper Synchronization and Race Condition in vm-memory

rust-vmm vm-memory before 0.1.1 and 0.2.x before 0.2.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service loss of IP networking because readobj and writeobj do not properly access memory. This affects aarch64 with musl or glibc and x8664 with musl...

traitobject assumes the layout of fat pointers

This crate gets the data pointer from fat pointers assuming that the first element in a fat pointer is the data pointer. This is currently true, but it may change in a future Rust version, leading to memory corruption. This has been fixed in the master branch of the crate, but is has not been...

Double free when calling `sys_info::disk_info` from multiple threads

Affected versions of sys-info use a static, global, list to store temporary disk information while running. The function that cleans up this list, DFCleanup, assumes a single threaded environment and will try to free the same memory twice in a multithreaded environment. This results in consistent...

Use after free in ArcIntern::drop

ArcIntern::drop has a race condition where it can release memory which is about to get another user. The new user will get a reference to freed memory. This was fixed by serializing access to an interned object while it is being deallocated. Versions prior to 0.3.12 used stronger locking which...

`LocalRequest::clone` creates multiple mutable references to the same object

The affected version of rocket contains a Clone trait implementation of LocalRequest that reuses the pointer to inner Request object. This causes data race in rare combinations of APIs if the original and the cloned objects are modified at the same time...

crate has been renamed to `block-cipher`

This crate has been renamed from block-cipher-trait to block-cipher. The new repository location is at:...

tokio-rustls reads may cause excessive memory usage

tokio-rustls does not call processnewpackets immediately after read, so the expected termination condition wantsread always returns true. As long as new incoming data arrives faster than it is processed and the reader does not return pending, data will be buffered. This may cause DoS...

rio allows a use-after-free buffer access when a future is leaked

When a rio::Completion is leaked, its drop code will not run. The drop code is responsible for waiting until the kernel completes the I/O operation into, or out of, the buffer borrowed by rio::Completion. Leaking the struct will allow one to access and/or drop the buffer, which can lead to a...

bigint is unmaintained, use uint instead

The bigint crate is not maintained any more and contains several known bugs including a soundness bug; use uint instead...

`array!` macro is unsound in presence of traits that implement methods it calls internally

Affected versions of this crate called some methods using auto-ref. The affected code looked like this. rust let mut arr = $crate::core::mem::MaybeUninit::uninit; let mut vec = $crate::ArrayVec::::newarr.asmutptr as mut T; In this case, the problem is that asmutptr is a method of &mut MaybeUninit...

futures_task::noop_waker_ref can segfault due to dereferencing a NULL pointer

Affected versions of the crate used a UnsafeCell in thread-local storage to return a noop waker reference, assuming that the reference would never be returned from another thread. This resulted in a segmentation fault crash if Waker::wakebyref was called on a waker returned from another thread du...

failure is officially deprecated/unmaintained

The failure crate is officially end-of-life: it has been marked as deprecated by the former maintainer, who has announced that there will be no updates or maintenance work on it going forward.

Crash causing Denial of Service attack

Server or client applications that call the SSLcheckchain function during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the "signaturealgorithmscert" TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid or unrecognised signature algorithm i...

fake-static allows converting any reference into a `'static` reference

fake-static allows converting a reference with any lifetime into a reference with 'static lifetime without the unsafe keyword. Internally, this crate does not use unsafe code, it instead exploits a soundness bug in rustc: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/25860...

Relies on undefined behavior of `char::from_u32_unchecked`

The Windows implementation of this crate relied on the behavior of std::char::fromu32unchecked when its safety clause is violated. Even though this worked with Rust versions up to 1.42 at least, that behavior could change with any new Rust version, possibly leading a security issue. The flaw was...

Library exclusively intended to obfuscate code.

This crate allows you to write safe functions with unsafe bodies without the unsafe keyword. The value this adds is questionable, and hides unsafe usages from naive analysis...

Various memory safety issues

This crate was maintained for use in rusttype which has switched to use ttf-parser...

`read_scalar` and `read_scalar_at` allow transmuting values without `unsafe` blocks

The readscalar and readscalarat functions are unsound because they allow transmuting values without unsafe blocks. The following example shows how to create a dangling reference: fn main deriveCopy, Clone, PartialEq, Debug struct S&'static str; impl flatbuffers::EndianScalar for S fn...

arr! macro erases lifetimes

Affected versions of this crate allowed unsoundly extending lifetimes using arr! macro. This may result in a variety of memory corruption scenarios, most likely use-after-free...

use-after or double free of allocated memory

Conversion of BitVec to BitBox did not account for allocation movement. The flaw was corrected by using the address after resizing, rather than the original base address...

Flaw in `realloc` allows reading unknown memory

When reallocing, if we allocate new space, we need to copy the old allocation's bytes into the new space. There are oldsize number of bytes in the old allocation, but we were accidentally copying newsize number of bytes, which could lead to copying bytes into the realloc'd space from past the chu...

CBox API allows to de-reference raw pointers without `unsafe` code

CBox and CSemiBox are part of the public API of the cbox crate and they allow to create smart pointers from raw pointers and de-reference them without the need of unsafe code...

Flaw in hyper allows request smuggling by sending a body in GET requests

Vulnerable versions of hyper allow GET requests to have bodies, even if there is no Transfer-Encoding or Content-Length header. As per the HTTP 1.1 specification, such requests do not have bodies, so the body will be interpreted as a separate HTTP request. This allows an attacker who can control...

tiberius is unmaintained

The author of tiberius has archived the GitHub repository and left the following note: I do not have the time to overhaul the library and do not intend to further maintain the 0.3 version relying on the old futures ecosystem. Suggested alternatives are: - odbc - sqlx forthcoming...

Lifetime boundary for `raw_slice` and `raw_slice_mut` are incorrect

The affected version of rulinalg has incorrect lifetime boundary definitions for RowMut::rawslice and RowMut::rawslicemut. They do not conform with Rust's borrowing rule and allows the user to create multiple mutable references to the same location. This may result in unexpected calculation resul...

Use-after-free in Framed due to lack of pinning

Affected versions of this crate did not require the buffer wrapped in Framed to be pinned, but treated it as if it had a fixed location in memory. This may result in a use-after-free. The flaw was corrected by making the affected functions accept Pin instead of &mut self...

Contents of uninitialized memory exposed in DeflateOutput's AsyncRead implementation

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

sigstack allocation bug can cause memory corruption or leak

An embedding using affected versions of lucet-runtime configured to use non-default Wasm globals sizes of more than 4KiB, or compiled in debug mode without optimizations, could leak data from the signal handler stack to guest programs. This can potentially cause data from the embedding host to le...

Use-after-free in BodyStream due to lack of pinning

Affected versions of this crate did not require the buffer wrapped in BodyStream to be pinned, but treated it as if it had a fixed location in memory. This may result in a use-after-free. The flaw was corrected by making the trait MessageBody require Unpin and making pollnext function accept Pin...

Improper `Sync` implementation on `FuturesUnordered` in futures-utils can cause data corruption

Affected versions of the crate had an unsound Sync implementation on the FuturesUnordered structure, which used a Cell for interior mutability without any code to handle synchronized access to the underlying task list's length and head safely. This could of lead to data corruption since two threa...

Observable Discrepancy in libsecp256k1-rs

A timing vulnerability in the Scalar::checkoverflow function in Parity libsecp256k1-rs before 0.3.1 potentially allows an attacker to leak information via a side-channel attack...

Threshold value is ignored (all shares are n=3)

Affected versions of this crate did not properly calculate secret shares requirements. This reduces the security of the algorithm by restricting the crate to always using a threshold value of three, rather than a configurable limit. The flaw was corrected by correctly configuring the threshold...

rust_sodium is unmaintained; switch to a modern alternative

The rustsodium crate is no longer maintained by its current owner, who advise in the repository readme that they are looking for someone else to take ownership of it. We recommend you switch to an alternative crate such as: - sodiumoxide...

Parsing a specially crafted message can result in a stack overflow

Affected versions of this crate contained a bug in which decoding untrusted input could overflow the stack. On architectures with stack probes like x86, this can be used for denial of service attacks, while on architectures without stack probes like ARM overflowing the stack is unsound and can...

bespoke Cell implementation allows obtaining several mutable references to the same data

The custom implementation of a Cell primitive in the affected versions of this crate does not keep track of mutable references to the underlying data. This allows obtaining several mutable references to the same object which may result in arbitrary memory corruption, most likely use-after-free. T...
