Background ========== A systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-lang/rust < 1.29.1 >= 1.29.1 2 dev-lang/rust-bin < 1.29.1 >= 1.29.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Rust. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact ====== A remote attacker able to control the value passed to Rust's str::repeat function could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition. In addition, a local attacker could trick another user into executing arbitrary code when using rustdoc. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Rust users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/rust-1.29.1" All Rust binary users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/rust-bin-1.29.1" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2018-1000622 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-1000622 [ 2 ] CVE-2018-1000810 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-1000810 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201812-11 Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users' machines is of utmost importance to us.
