Rust vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The block-cipher-trait crate has been renamed to block-cipher for consistency with other RustCrypto/traits crates and improved convenience. This change was implemented through RUSTSEC-2020-0018 advisory to inform users about the crate renaming (RustCrypto PR).
Technical details
The vulnerability is not a security issue but rather a maintenance advisory. The block-cipher-trait crate was deprecated and renamed to block-cipher. An empty v0.7.0 version was published with deprecation notices to ensure users are aware of the name change (RustCrypto PR).
Impact
The impact is minimal and primarily affects dependency management. Projects using the old block-cipher-trait crate name need to update their dependencies to use the new block-cipher crate name (RustCrypto PR).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users should update their dependencies to use the new block-cipher crate instead of block-cipher-trait. The old crate has been deprecated with an empty v0.7.0 version that includes deprecation notices (RustCrypto PR).
