Fedora 39: 2024-40ee18b2e7 Moderate: Rust Scx_rustland DoS Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey June 2, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Debian System Alert regarding python-apps_xdev highlights critical patches and enhanced compilations for improved stability.
This update contains builds from a mini-mass-rebuild for Rust applications (and some C-style libraries)

Summary

A BPF component (dispatcher) that implements the low level

sched-ext functionalities and a user-space counterpart (scheduler),

written in Rust, that implements the actual scheduling policy.

This is used within sched_ext, which is a Linux kernel feature

which enables implementing kernel thread schedulers in BPF and

dynamically loading them.

Update Information:

This update contains builds from a mini-mass-rebuild for Rust applications (and some C-style libraries). Rebuilding with the Rust 1.78 toolchain should fix incomplete debug information for the Rust standard library (and the resulting low-quality stack traces). Additionally, builds will have picked up fixes for some minor low-priority security and / or safety fixes in crate dependencies that had not yet been handled via a separate (targeted) rebuild: h2 v0.3.26+ (denial-of-service): https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2024-0332.html glib v0.19.4+ and backports (UB): core/pull/1343 hashbrown v0.14.5+ (UB): https://github.com/rust-lang/hashbrown/pull/511 rustls v0.22.4+, v0.21.11+ (denial-of-service): https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2024-0336.html
