The Rust Programming Language Standard Library 1.34.x before 1.34.2 contains a stabilized method which, if overridden, can violate Rust's safety guarantees and cause memory unsafety. If the `Error::type_id` method is overridden then any type can be safely cast to any other type, causing memory safety vulnerabilities in safe code (e.g., out-of-bounds write or read). Code that does not manually implement Error::type_id is unaffected.

This update for rust fixes the following issues :

Rust was updated to version 1.36.0.

Security issues fixed :

CVE-2019-12083: a standard method can be overridden violating Rust's safety guarantees and causing memory unsafety (bsc#1134978)

CVE-2018-1000622: rustdoc loads plugins from world-writable directory allowing for arbitrary code execution (bsc#1100691)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
