cargo-vet does not verify reviewers' identity. You have to fully trust the source the audits are from.

safe-to-run

This crate can be compiled, run, and tested on a local workstation or in controlled automation without surprising consequences. More…

does-not-implement-crypto (implies crypto-safe)

Inspection reveals that the crate in question does not attempt to implement any cryptographic algorithms on its own.

Note that certification of this does not require an expert on all forms of cryptography: it's expected for crates we import to be "good enough" citizens, so they'll at least be forthcoming if they try to implement something cryptographic. When in doubt, please ask an expert.

crypto-safe
Implied by other criteria

All crypto algorithms in this crate have been reviewed by a relevant expert.

Note: If a crate does not implement crypto, use does-not-implement-crypto, which implies crypto-safe, but does not require expert review in order to audit for.

safe-to-deploy (implies safe-to-run)

This crate will not introduce a serious security vulnerability to production software exposed to untrusted input. More…

ub-risk-2 (implies ub-risk-3)

Negligible unsoundness or average soundness.

ub-risk-3 (implies ub-risk-4)
Implied by other criteria

Mild unsoundness or suboptimal soundness.

0.2.139 (older version) Rating: Positive Thoroughness: Low Understanding: Medium

Compared to 0.2.138, the bulk of the changes are support for new target_os, nto, which is QNX/Neutrino. I glanced through them, they seem to have the right shape. The rest of the changes are the usual: new constants and new function declarations. The only interesting bit there is a new KERNEL_VERSION function which emulates the eponymous macro; it returns the kernel version, limiting the patch version to 255 (for compatibility).

As usual, "thoroughness" for this review is "low" because I didn't manually check that the bindings match the headers — I trust that the CI checked that already.

Compared to 0.2.137, this version adds some new constants and bindings. The only interesting bit is two new wrappers in unix::solarish::compat module that wrap getpwent_r and getgrent_r functions in such a way that calls don't modify errno. The wrappers look solid to me.

As usual, "thoroughness" for this review is "low" because I didn't manually check that the bindings match the headers — I trust that the CI checked that already.

Lib.rs has been able to verify that all files in the crate's tarball are in the crate's repository with a git tag matching the version. Please note that this check is still in beta, and absence of this confirmation does not mean that the files don't match.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories, so there is a possibility that published crates have a misleading repository URL, or contain different code from the code in the repository.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open libc. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of libc v0.2.164 or view the source online.
