Security Vulnerabilities

yaml-rust: Uncontrolled recursion leads to abort in deserialization

RUSTSEC-2018-0006

Affected versions of this crate did not prevent deep recursion while deserializing data structures.

This allows an attacker to make a YAML file with deeply nested structures that causes an abort while deserializing it.

The flaw was corrected by checking the recursion depth.

Note: clap 2.33 is not affected by this because it uses yaml-rust in a way that doesn't trigger the vulnerability. More specifically:

  1. The input to the YAML parser is always trusted - is included at compile time via include_str!.

  2. The nesting level is never deep enough to trigger the overflow in practice (at most 5).

chrono: Potential segfault in `localtime_r` invocations

RUSTSEC-2020-0159

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.

Workarounds

No workarounds are known.
