CVE-2023-38497

Cargo downloads the Rust project’s dependencies and compiles the project.
Cargo prior to version 0.72.2, bundled with Rust prior to version 1.71.1,
did not respect the umask when extracting crate archives on UNIX-like
systems. If the user downloaded a crate containing files writeable by any
local user, another local user could exploit this to change the source code
compiled and executed by the current user. To prevent existing cached
extractions from being exploitable, the Cargo binary version 0.72.2
included in Rust 1.71.1 or later will purge caches generated by older Cargo
versions automatically. As a workaround, configure one’s system to prevent
other local users from accessing the Cargo directory, usually located in
~/.cargo.
