dotenv is Unmaintained

dotenv by description is meant to be used in development or testing only.

Using this in production may or may not be advisable.

Alternatives

The below may or may not be feasible alternative(s):

See advisory page for additional details.

reject_remote_clients Configuration corruption

On Windows, configuring a named pipe server with pipe_mode will force ServerOptions::reject_remote_clients as false.

This drops any intended explicit configuration for the reject_remote_clients that may have been set as true previously.

The default setting of reject_remote_clients is normally true meaning the default is also overriden as false.

Workarounds

Ensure that pipe_mode is set first after initializing a ServerOptions. For example:

let mut opts = ServerOptions::new();
opts.pipe_mode(PipeMode::Message);
opts.reject_remote_clients(true);

See advisory page for additional details.

Potential segfault in the time crate

Impact

Unix-like operating systems may segfault due to dereferencing a dangling pointer in specific circumstances. This requires an environment variable to be set in a different thread than the affected functions. This may occur without the user's knowledge, notably in a third-party library.

The affected functions from time 0.2.7 through 0.2.22 are:

• time::UtcOffset::local_offset_at
• time::UtcOffset::try_local_offset_at
• time::UtcOffset::current_local_offset
• time::UtcOffset::try_current_local_offset
• time::OffsetDateTime::now_local
• time::OffsetDateTime::try_now_local

The affected functions in time 0.1 (all versions) are:

• at
• at_utc
• now

Non-Unix targets (including Windows and wasm) are unaffected.

Patches

Pending a proper fix, the internal method that determines the local offset has been modified to always return None on the affected operating systems. This has the effect of returning an Err on the try_* methods and UTC on the non-try_* methods.

Users and library authors with time in their dependency tree should perform cargo update, which will pull in the updated, unaffected code.

Users of time 0.1 do not have a patch and should upgrade to an unaffected version: time 0.2.23 or greater or the 0.3 series.

Workarounds

No workarounds are known.

See advisory page for additional details.

claim is Unmaintained

The last release was in February 2021, almost two years ago.

The maintainer has been unresponsive regarding this crate for over a year.

A pending issue with claim's dependencies has made the crate difficult to use.

Possible Alternative(s)

The below list has not been vetted in any way and may or may not contain alternatives;

• claims, a direct fork of the claim crate
