How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 rust-toolset:rhel8/rust-std-static-wasm32-unknown-unknown.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rust-toolset:rhel8/rust-std-static-wasm32-unknown-unknown package and not the rust-toolset:rhel8/rust-std-static-wasm32-unknown-unknown package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

tar-rs versions 0.4.11 through 0.4.46 contain a symlink escape vulnerability in the Builder::append_dir_all() function that allows attackers to read files outside the intended source root directory by planting symlinks in an attacker-controlled directory. When a privileged process archives an untrusted directory, the function follows symlinks without verifying that resolved targets remain within the source root, causing out-of-bounds files to be included in the archive as regular files and disclosed to the attacker.
