This project might be open to known security vulnerabilities, which can be prevented by tightening the version range of affected dependencies. Find detailed information at the bottom.
There was a logic bug where unauthenticated payloads could still cause a nonce
increment in snow's internal state. For an attacker with privileges to inject
packets into the channel over which the Noise session operates, this could
allow a denial-of-service attack which could prevent message delivery by
sending garbage data.
Note that this only affects those who are using the stateful TransportState,
not those using StatelessTransportState.
This has been patched in version 0.9.5, and all users are recommended to
update.
rustls: rustls network-reachable panic in `Acceptor::accept`
A bug introduced in rustls 0.23.13 leads to a panic if the received
TLS ClientHello is fragmented. Only servers that use
rustls::server::Acceptor::accept() are affected.
Servers that use tokio-rustls's LazyConfigAcceptor API are affected.
Servers that use tokio-rustls's TlsAcceptor API are not affected.
Servers that use rustls-ffi's rustls_acceptor_accept API are affected.
tracing-subscriber: Logging user input may result in poisoning logs with ANSI escape sequences
Previous versions of tracing-subscriber were vulnerable to ANSI escape sequence injection attacks. Untrusted user input containing ANSI escape sequences could be injected into terminal output when logged, potentially allowing attackers to:
Manipulate terminal title bars
Clear screens or modify terminal display
Potentially mislead users through terminal manipulation
In isolation, impact is minimal, however security issues have been found in terminal emulators that enabled an attacker to use ANSI escape sequences via logs to exploit vulnerabilities in the terminal emulator.
This was patched in PR #3368 to escape ANSI control characters from user input.
In the unique reclaim path of BytesMut::reserve, the condition
if v_capacity >= new_cap + offset
uses an unchecked addition. When new_cap + offset overflows usize in release builds, this condition may incorrectly pass, causing self.cap to be set to a value that exceeds the actual allocated capacity. Subsequent APIs such as spare_capacity_mut() then trust this corrupted cap value and may create out-of-bounds slices, leading to UB.
This behavior is observable in release builds (integer overflow wraps), whereas debug builds panic due to overflow checks.
PoC
use bytes::*;
fn main() {
let mut a = BytesMut::from(&b"hello world"[..]);
let mut b = a.split_off(5);
// Ensure b becomes the unique owner of the backing storage
drop(a);
// Trigger overflow in new_cap + offset inside reserve
b.reserve(usize::MAX - 6);
// This call relies on the corrupted cap and may cause UB & HBO
b.put_u8(b'h');
}
Workarounds
Users of BytesMut::reserve are only affected if integer overflow checks are configured to wrap. When integer overflow is configured to panic, this issue does not apply.
rustls-webpki: Reachable panic in certificate revocation list parsing
A panic was reachable when parsing certificate revocation lists via [BorrowedCertRevocationList::from_der]
or [OwnedCertRevocationList::from_der]. This was the result of mishandling a syntactically valid empty
BIT STRING appearing in the onlySomeReasons element of a IssuingDistributionPoint CRL extension.
This panic is reachable prior to a CRL's signature being verified.
Applications that do not use CRLs are not affected.
Thank you to @tynus3 for the report.
quinn-proto: Remote memory exhaustion in quinn-proto from unbounded out-of-order stream reassembly
The Assembler component that assembles unordered stream fragments into consecutive chunks of the
stream incurs some overhead for non-contiguous fragments. Readers that read from a RecvStream in
order (through an AsyncRead impl for example) will be sensitive to peers that send fragments
while leaving out early parts of the stream, and in particular, fragments with many gaps (because
these cannot be defragmented). In such a scenario, the receiving connection suffers from high
buffer overhead, enabling memory exhaustion.
