    Race Condition Enabling Link Following and Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition in remove_dir_all

    GHSA-mc8h-8q98-g5hr

    Affected
    • crates.io remove_dir_all < 0.8.0
    Fixed in
    0.8.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    The removedirall crate is a Rust library that offers additional features over the Rust standard library fs::removedirall function. It suffers the same class of failure as the code it was layering over: TOCTOU race conditions, with the ability to cause arbitrary paths to be deleted by substituting a symlink for a path after the type of the path was checked. Thanks to the Rust security team for identifying the problem and alerting us to it.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.8.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
