Security Vulnerabilities

prost: Parsing a specially crafted message can result in a stack overflow

RUSTSEC-2020-0002

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 result in potential memory corruption (or even RCE).

The flaw was quickly corrected by @danburkert and released in version 0.6.1.

protobuf: Crash due to uncontrolled recursion in protobuf crate

RUSTSEC-2024-0437

Affected version of this crate did not properly parse unknown fields when parsing a user-supplied input.

This allows an attacker to cause a stack overflow when parsing the mssage on untrusted data.
