{"id":"MGASA-2021-0517","summary":"Updated rust packages fix security vulnerability","details":"Updated rust packages fix security vulnerability\n\nThis update mitigates a security concern in the Unicode standard, affecting\nsource code containing \"bidirectional override\" Unicode codepoints: in some\ncases the use of those codepoints could lead to the reviewed code being\ndifferent than the compiled code (CVE-2021-42574).\n\nrustc mitigates the issue by issuing two new deny-by-default lints detecting\nthe affected codepoints in string literals and in comments. The lints will \nprevent source code files containing those codepoints from being compiled,\nprotecting developers and users from the attack.\n\nThis update also provides new features and bugfixes included in Rust since\nthe previously packaged version 1.51.1. See the referenced release notes for\ndetails.\n","modified":"2026-02-04T03:00:59.802695Z","published":"2021-11-20T19:31:06Z","related":["CVE-2021-42574"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2021-0517.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29616"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/11/01/1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/05/06/Rust-1.52.0.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/06/17/Rust-1.53.0.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/07/29/Rust-1.54.0.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/09/09/Rust-1.55.0.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/10/21/Rust-1.56.0.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/11/01/Rust-1.56.1.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rust","ecosystem":"Mageia:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/rust?arch=source&distro=mageia-8"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.56.1-1.mga8"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2021-0517.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
