chrono: Potential segfault in `localtime_r` invocationsUnix-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.
No workarounds are known.
diesel: Binary Protocol Misinterpretation caused by Truncating or Overflowing CastsThe following presentation at this year's DEF CON was brought to our attention on the Diesel Gitter Channel:
SQL Injection isn't Dead: Smuggling Queries at the Protocol Level
http://web.archive.org/web/20240812130923/https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2032/DEF%20CON%2032%20presentations/DEF%20CON%2032%20-%20Paul%20Gerste%20-%20SQL%20Injection%20Isn't%20Dead%20Smuggling%20Queries%20at%20the%20Protocol%20Level.pdf
(Archive link for posterity.) Essentially, encoding a value larger than 4GiB can cause the length prefix in the protocol to overflow, causing the server to interpret the rest of the string as binary protocol commands or other data.
It appears Diesel does perform truncating casts in a way that could be problematic, for example: https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/blob/ae82c4a5a133db65612b7436356f549bfecda1c7/diesel/src/pg/connection/stmt/mod.rs#L36
This code has existed essentially since the beginning,
so it is reasonable to assume that all published versions <= 2.2.2 are affected.
The prefered migration to the outlined problem is to update to a Diesel version newer than 2.2.2, which includes fixes for the problem.
As always, you should make sure your application is validating untrustworthy user input. Reject any input over 4 GiB, or any input that could encode to a string longer than 4 GiB. Dynamically built queries are also potentially problematic if it pushes the message size over this 4 GiB bound.
For web application backends, consider adding some middleware that limits the size of request bodies by default.
Diesel now uses #[deny] directives for the following Clippy lints:
to prevent casts that will lead to precision loss or other trunctations. Additionally we performed an audit of the relevant code.
A fix is included in the 2.2.3 release.
ring: Some AES functions may panic when overflow checking is enabled.ring::aead::quic::HeaderProtectionKey::new_mask() may panic when overflow
checking is enabled. In the QUIC protocol, an attacker can induce this panic by
sending a specially-crafted packet. Even unintentionally it is likely to occur
in 1 out of every 2**32 packets sent and/or received.
On 64-bit targets operations using ring::aead::{AES_128_GCM, AES_256_GCM} may
panic when overflow checking is enabled, when encrypting/decrypting approximately
68,719,476,700 bytes (about 64 gigabytes) of data in a single chunk. Protocols
like TLS and SSH are not affected by this because those protocols break large
amounts of data into small chunks. Similarly, most applications will not
attempt to encrypt/decrypt 64GB of data in one chunk.
Overflow checking is not enabled in release mode by default, but
RUSTFLAGS="-C overflow-checks" or overflow-checks = true in the Cargo.toml
profile can override this. Overflow checking is usually enabled by default in
debug mode.
