NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream clippy package and not the clippy package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Cargo incorrectly handled symlinks inside of crate tarballs downloaded from third-party registries, allowing a malicious crate to override the source code of another crate from the same registry. The severity of the vulnerability is medium for users of third-party registries. Users of crates.io are not affected, as crates.io forbids uploading crates containing any symlink.
