Security Vulnerabilities

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.

webbrowser: Unix `BROWSER` handling allows browser argument injection

RUSTSEC-2026-0257

On Unix platforms handled by src/unix.rs, affected versions substitute the caller-supplied URL into the BROWSER environment-variable template before tokenizing the resulting string with split_ascii_whitespace(). If an application passes an attacker-controlled non-HTTP(S) URL whose parsed form retains spaces and the effective BROWSER template contains %s, text that should remain within one URL argument becomes additional browser arguments.

The issue was reproduced with Chromium by injecting --remote-debugging-port, which exposed a local DevTools endpoint, and --proxy-server, which redirected browser traffic through an attacker-controlled proxy. The available arguments and resulting impact depend on the browser launched by the affected application.

Version 1.2.2 fixes the issue by tokenizing the BROWSER template before substituting the URL, preserving the URL as part of a single argument. Users should upgrade to version 1.2.2 or later. Applications that only need HTTP(S) URLs can also enable the crate's hardened feature as defense in depth.
