This pull request addresses several security vulnerabilities discovered through cargo audit. The vulnerabilities span across multiple crates, including h2, mio, and openssl. Each vulnerability is associated with potential security risks, including denial of service (DoS), arbitrary file read, thread safety issues, buffer over-reads, and null pointer dereference.
Details of Vulnerabilities and Solutions
h2: Upgraded to 0.3.24 to mitigate resource exhaustion vulnerability that could lead to DoS.
RUSTSEC-2023-0044: Buffer over-read in X509VerifyParamRef::set_host.
RUSTSEC-2023-0024: Null pointer dereference in X509Extension::new and X509Extension::new_nid.
Actions Taken
Performed cargo update -p <crate_name> --precise <version> for each affected crate to ensure the least intrusive update that resolves the vulnerabilities.
Ran cargo test post-upgrade to ensure no regressions were introduced.
Conclusion
These updates are critical for maintaining the security and integrity of the project. It is recommended to merge this PR as soon as possible to apply these security patches. Further, detailed testing and validation are advised to ensure the updates integrate smoothly with the existing codebase.
Attachment: cargo audit Output for Reference
