Fedora 36 : rust-afterburn / rust-askalono-cli / rust-below / rust-cargo-c / etc (2022-ea721afd66)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 211025

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 36 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2022-ea721afd66 advisory.

Update the thread_local crate to version 1.1.4. This includes a fix for [RUSTSEC-2022-0006](https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2022-0006.html) (possible memory corruption caused by a data race). All applications that statically link thread_local have been rebuilt for this version. Additionally, all rebuilt applications now include the fix for [CVE-2022-21658](https://rustsec.org/advisories/CVE-2022-21658.html) (Time-of-check Time-of-use race condition in `std::fs::remove_dir_all` from the Rust standard library).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
