RUSTSEC-2023-0071: Marvin Attack: potential key recovery through timing sidechannels
Package: rsa@0.9.10
Severity: Unknown
URL: RustCrypto/RSA#19 (comment)
Impact
Due to a non-constant-time implementation, information about the private key is leaked through timing information which is observable over the network. An attacker may be able to use that information to recover the key.
Patches
No patch is yet available, however work is underway to migrate to a fully constant-time implementation.
Workarounds
The only currently available workaround is to avoid using the rsa crate in settings where attackers are able to observe timing information, e.g. local use on a non-compromised computer is fine.
References
This vulnerability was discovered as part of the "Marvin Attack", which revealed several implementations of RSA including OpenSSL had not properly mitigated timing sidechannel attacks.

RUSTSEC-2025-0111: tokio-tar parses PAX extended headers incorrectly, allows file smuggling
Package: tokio-tar@0.3.1
Severity: Unknown
URL: https://edera.dev/stories/tarmageddon
The archive reader incorrectly handles PAX extended headers, when the ustar
header incorrectly specifies zero size (size=000000000000), while a PAX
header specifies a non-zero size, tokio-tar::Archive is going to read the
file content as tar entry header.
This can be used by a tar file to present different content to tokio-tar
compared to other tar reader implementations.
This bug is also known as CVE-2025-62518 and GHSA-j5gw-2vrg-8fgx, as those
crates share a common ancestor codebase.
The tokio-tar crate is archived and no longer maintained, we recommend you
switch to an alternative crate such as:
