Security Vulnerabilities

time: Potential segfault in the time crate

RUSTSEC-2020-0071

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.

The affected functions from time 0.2.7 through 0.2.22 are:

  • time::UtcOffset::local_offset_at
  • time::UtcOffset::try_local_offset_at
  • time::UtcOffset::current_local_offset
  • time::UtcOffset::try_current_local_offset
  • time::OffsetDateTime::now_local
  • time::OffsetDateTime::try_now_local

The affected functions in time 0.1 (all versions) are:

  • at
  • at_utc
  • now

Non-Unix targets (including Windows and wasm) are unaffected.

Patches

Pending a proper fix, the internal method that determines the local offset has been modified to always return None on the affected operating systems. This has the effect of returning an Err on the try_* methods and UTC on the non-try_* methods.

Users and library authors with time in their dependency tree should perform cargo update, which will pull in the updated, unaffected code.

Users of time 0.1 do not have a patch and should upgrade to an unaffected version: time 0.2.23 or greater or the 0.3 series.

Workarounds

A possible workaround for crates affected through the transitive dependency in chrono, is to avoid using the default oldtime feature dependency of the chrono crate by disabling its default-features and manually specifying the required features instead.

Examples:

Cargo.toml:

chrono = { version = "0.4", default-features = false, features = ["serde"] }
chrono = { version = "0.4.22", default-features = false, features = ["clock"] }

Commandline:

cargo add chrono --no-default-features -F clock

bzip2: bzip2 Denial of Service (DoS)

RUSTSEC-2023-0004

Working with specific payloads can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) vector.

Both Decompress and Compress implementations can enter into infinite loops given specific payloads entered that trigger it.

The issue is described in great detail in the bzip2 repository issue.

Thanks to bjrjk for finding and providing the patch for the issue and the maintainer responsibly responding to release a fix quickly.

Users who use the crate with untrusted data should update the bzip2 to 0.4.4.
