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.
Affected versions of the crate did not properly implement a 'static lifetime bound on the waker function.
This resulted in a use-after-free if Waker::wake() is called after original data had been dropped.
The flaw was corrected by adding 'static lifetime bound to the data waker takes.
chrono: Potential segfault in `localtime_r` invocations
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.
A bug in the SmallVec::insert_many method caused it to allocate a buffer that was smaller than needed. It then wrote past the end of the buffer, causing a buffer overflow and memory corruption on the heap.
This bug was only triggered if the iterator passed to insert_many yielded more items than the lower bound returned from its size_hint method.
The flaw was corrected in smallvec 0.6.14 and 1.6.1, by ensuring that additional space is always reserved for each item inserted. The fix also simplified the implementation of insert_many to use less unsafe code, so it is easier to verify its correctness.
Thank you to Yechan Bae (@Qwaz) and the Rust group at Georgia Techβs SSLab for finding and reporting this bug.
hyper: Lenient `hyper` header parsing of `Content-Length` could allow request smuggling
hyper's HTTP header parser accepted, according to RFC 7230, illegal contents inside Content-Length headers.
Due to this, upstream HTTP proxies that ignore the header may still forward them along if it chooses to ignore the error.
To be vulnerable, hyper must be used as an HTTP/1 server and using an HTTP proxy upstream that ignores the header's contents
but still forwards it. Due to all the factors that must line up, an attack exploiting this vulnerability is unlikely.
hyper: Integer overflow in `hyper`'s parsing of the `Transfer-Encoding` header leads to data loss
When decoding chunk sizes that are too large, hyper's code would encounter an integer overflow. Depending on the situation,
this could lead to data loss from an incorrect total size, or in rarer cases, a request smuggling attack.
To be vulnerable, you must be using hyper for any HTTP/1 purpose, including as a client or server, and consumers must send
requests or responses that specify a chunk size greater than 18 exabytes. For a possible request smuggling attack to be possible,
any upstream proxies must accept a chunk size greater than 64 bits.
regex: Regexes with large repetitions on empty sub-expressions take a very long time to parse
The Rust Security Response WG was notified that the regex crate did not
properly limit the complexity of the regular expressions (regex) it parses. An
attacker could use this security issue to perform a denial of service, by
sending a specially crafted regex to a service accepting untrusted regexes. No
known vulnerability is present when parsing untrusted input with trusted
regexes.
This issue has been assigned CVE-2022-24713. The severity of this vulnerability
is "high" when the regex crate is used to parse untrusted regexes. Other uses
of the regex crate are not affected by this vulnerability.
Overview
The regex crate features built-in mitigations to prevent denial of service
attacks caused by untrusted regexes, or untrusted input matched by trusted
regexes. Those (tunable) mitigations already provide sane defaults to prevent
attacks. This guarantee is documented and it's considered part of the crate's
API.
Unfortunately a bug was discovered in the mitigations designed to prevent
untrusted regexes to take an arbitrary amount of time during parsing, and it's
possible to craft regexes that bypass such mitigations. This makes it possible
to perform denial of service attacks by sending specially crafted regexes to
services accepting user-controlled, untrusted regexes.
Affected versions
All versions of the regex crate before or equal to 1.5.4 are affected by this
issue. The fix is include starting from regex 1.5.5.
Mitigations
We recommend everyone accepting user-controlled regexes to upgrade immediately
to the latest version of the regex crate.
Unfortunately there is no fixed set of problematic regexes, as there are
practically infinite regexes that could be crafted to exploit this
vulnerability. Because of this, we do not recommend denying known problematic
regexes.
Acknowledgements
We want to thank Addison Crump for responsibly disclosing this to us according
to the Rust security policy, and for helping review the fix.
We also want to thank Andrew Gallant for developing the fix, and Pietro Albini
for coordinating the disclosure and writing this advisory.
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.
This code has existed essentially since the beginning,
so it is reasonable to assume that all published versions <= 0.8.0 are affected.
Mitigation
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.
Encode::size_hint()
can be used for sanity checks, but do not assume that the size returned is accurate.
For example, the Json<T> and Text<T> adapters have no reasonable way to predict or estimate the final encoded size,
so they just return size_of::<T>() instead.
For web application backends, consider adding some middleware that limits the size of request bodies by default.
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.
