# const-cstr is Unmaintained
|
||||
|
||||
Last release was about five years ago.
|
||||
|
||||
The maintainer(s) have been unreachable to respond to any issues that may or may not include security issues.
|
||||
|
||||
The repository is now archived and there is no security policy in place to contact the maintainer(s) otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
No direct fork exist.
|
||||
|
||||
# const-cstr is Unsound
|
||||
|
||||
The crate violates the safety contract of [ffi::CStr::from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ffi/struct.CStr.html#method.from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked) used in `ConstCStr::as_cstr`
|
||||
|
||||
No interior nul bytes checking is done either by the constructor or the canonical macro to create the `ConstCStr`
|
||||
|
||||
# const-cstr Panic
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally the crate may cause runtime panics if statically compiled and ran with any untrusted data that is not nul-terminated.
|
||||
|
||||
This is however unlikely but the the crate should not be used for untrusted data in context where panic may create a DoS vector.
|
||||
|
||||
