Chainguard: verus: security update to 0.2026.10.18-r1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478185

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - zip is a zip library for Rust that supports reading and writing simple ZIP files. From 1.3.0 until 9.0.0,
 ZipArchive::extract in src/read/mod.rs calls Vec::with_capacity for a symbolic link target using the
 attacker-controlled ZIP64 uncompressed_size before reading entry data. A small archive can request an
 impossible capacity, causing the infallible allocation path to abort the process before the entry is
 validated. The failure cannot be contained with catch_unwind or a worker thread, allowing repeated denial
 of service in archive-processing applications. This issue is fixed in version 9.0.0. (CVE-2026-115909)

Solution

Update the verus library and its related packages to version 0.2026.10.18-r1 or later.
