Unsoundness in anstream

When given a valid UTF8 string "ö\x1b😀", the function in crates/anstream/src/adapter/strip.rs will be confused. The UTF8 bytes are \xc3\xb6 then \x1b then \xf0\x9f\x98\x80. When looping over "non-printable bytes" \x1b\xf0 will be considered as some non-printable sequence. This will produce a brok...

webp crate may expose memory contents when encoding an image

Affected versions of this crate did not check that the input slice passed to "webp::Encoder::encode is large enough for the specified image dimensions. If the input slice is too short, the library will read out of bounds of the buffer and encode other memory contents as an image, resulting in...

gix-path improperly resolves configuration path reported by Git

Summary gix-path runs git to find the path of a configuration file associated with the git installation, but improperly resolves paths containing unusual or non-ASCII characters, in rare cases enabling a local attacker to inject configuration leading to code execution. Details In gixpath::env, th...

Memory leak when calling a canister method via `ic_cdk::call`

When a canister method is called via iccdk::call, a new Future CallFuture is created and can be awaited by the caller to get the execution result. Internally, the state of the Future is tracked and stored in a struct called CallFutureState. A bug in the polling implementation of the CallFuture...

proc-macro-error is unmaintained

proc-macro-error's maintainer seems to be unreachable, with no commits for 2 years, no releases pushed for 4 years, and no activity on the GitLab repo or response to email. proc-macro-error also depends on syn 1.x, which may be bringing duplicate dependencies into dependant build trees. Possible...

gix-path uses local config across repos when it is the highest scope

Summary gix-path executes git to find the path of a configuration file that belongs to the git installation itself, but mistakenly treats the local repository's configuration as system-wide if no higher scoped configuration is found. In rare cases, this causes a less trusted repository to be...

CWA-2023-004: Excessive number of function parameters in compiled Wasm

A specifically crafted Wasm file can cause the VM to consume excessive amounts of memory when compiling a contract. This can lead to high memory usage, slowdowns, potentially a crash and can poison a lock in the VM, preventing any further interaction with contracts. For more information, see...

`cw0` is unmaintained

The crate cw0 was first renamed to utils in 2021 and then to cw-utils because utils was already claimed on crates.io. The crate cw0 is not maintained anymore since then and should be replaced with cw-utils...

Binary Protocol Misinterpretation caused by Truncating or Overflowing Casts

The following presentation at this year's DEF CON was brought to our attention on the Diesel Gitter Channel: SQL Injection isn't Dead: Smuggling Queries at the Protocol Level Archive link for posterity. Essentially, encoding a value larger than 4GiB can cause the length prefix in the protocol to...

gitoxide-core does not neutralize special characters for terminals

Summary The gix and ein commands write pathnames and other metadata literally to terminals, even if they contain characters terminals treat specially, including ANSI escape sequences. This sometimes allows an untrusted repository to misrepresent its contents and to alter or concoct error messages...

Uncaught exception when transitioning the state of `AsyncGenerator` objects from within a property getter of `then`

A wrong assumption made when handling ECMAScript's AsyncGenerator operations can cause an uncaught exception on certain scripts. Details Boa's implementation of AsyncGenerator makes the assumption that the state of an AsyncGenerator object cannot change while resolving a promise created by method...

CWA-2024-004: Gas mispricing in cosmwasm-vm

Some Wasm operations take significantly more gas than our benchmarks indicated. This can lead to missing the gas target we defined by a factor of 10x. This means a malicious contract could take 10 times as much time to execute as expected, which can be used to temporarily DoS a chain. For more...

Stack overflow when parsing specially crafted JSON ABI strings

Affected versions of the alloy-json-abi crate did not properly handle parsing of malformatted JSON ABI strings. The JsonAbi::parse method can be tricked into a stack overflow when processing specially crafted input. This stack overflow can lead to a crash of the application using this crate,...

`XmpFile::close` can trigger UB

Affected versions of the crate failed to catch C++ exceptions raised within the XmpFile::close function. If such an exception occured, it would trigger undefined behavior, typically a process abort. This is best demonstrated in issue 230, where a race condition causes the close call to fail due t...

Shell expansion in custom commands

Summary Undocumented and unpredictable shell expansion and/or quoting rules make it easily to accidentally cause shell injection when using custom commands with starship in bash. Details I wanted to show the git commit name in my prompt I use bash, so I added a command: custom.gitcommitname comma...

The kstring integration in gix-attributes is unsound

gix-attributes in state::ValueRef unsafely creates a &str from a &u8 containing non-UTF8 data, with the justification that so long as nothing reads the &str and relies on it being UTF-8 in the &str, there is no UB: rust // SAFETY: our API makes accessing that value as str impossible, so illformed...

Apache Arrow Rust Object Store: AWS WebIdentityToken exposure in log files

Exposure of temporary credentials in logs in Apache Arrow Rust Object Store, version 0.10.1 and earlier on all platforms using AWS WebIdentityTokens. On certain error conditions, the logs may contain the OIDC token passed to AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity. This allows someone with access to the logs t...

`MemBio::get_buf` has undefined behavior with empty buffers

Previously, MemBio::getbuf called slice::fromrawparts with a null-pointer, which violates the functions invariants, leading to undefined behavior. In debug builds this would produce an assertion failure. This is now fixed...

op_panic in the base runtime can force a panic in the runtime's containing thread

Affected versions use denocore releases that expose Deno.core.ops.oppanic to the JS runtime in the base core This function when called triggers a manual panic in the thread containing the runtime. It can be fixed by stubbing out the exposed op: javascript Deno.core.ops.oppanic = msg = throw new...

`UserIdentity::is_verified` not checking verification status of own user identity while performing the check

The UserIdentity::isverified method in the matrix-sdk-crypto crate before version 0.7.2 doesn't take into account the verification status of the user's own identity while performing the check and may as a result return a value contrary to what is implied by its name and documentation. Impact If t...

Usage of non-constant time base64 decoder could lead to leakage of secret key material

Versions before 0.7.0 of vodozemac use a non-constant time base64 implementation for importing key material for Megolm group sessions and PkDecryption Ed25519 secret keys. This flaw might allow an attacker to infer some information about the secret key material through a side-channel attack. Impa...

phonenumber: panic on parsing crafted phonenumber inputs

Impact The phonenumber parsing code may panic due to a reachable assert! guard on the phonenumber string. In a typical deployment of rust-phonenumber, this may get triggered by feeding a maliciously crafted phonenumber, e.g. over the network, specifically strings of the form...

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...
