Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Rust, the worst which may
allow local attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Background
==========
A systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents
segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-lang/rust < 1.29.1 >= 1.29.1
2 dev-lang/rust-bin < 1.29.1 >= 1.29.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages

Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Rust. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======
A remote attacker able to control the value passed to Rust's
str::repeat function could possibly cause a Denial of Service
condition.

In addition, a local attacker could trick another user into executing
arbitrary code when using rustdoc.

Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========
All Rust users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/rust-1.29.1"

All Rust binary users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/rust-bin-1.29.1"
