FreeBSD : Rust -- violation of Rust's safety guarantees (37528379-76a8-11e9-a4fd-00012e582166)

high Nessus Plugin ID 125098

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Sean McArthur reports :

The Rust Programming Language Standard Library 1.34.x before 1.34.2 contains a stabilized method which, if overridden, can violate Rust's safety guarantees and cause memory unsafety. If the Error::type_id method is overridden then any type can be safely cast to any other type, causing memory safety vulnerabilities in safe code (e.g., out-of-bounds write or read). Code that does not manually implement Error::type_id is unaffected.

Solution

Update the affected package.
