chore: document accepted glib advisory RUSTSEC-2024-0429#3
Merged
Conversation
glib 0.18.5 carries RUSTSEC-2024-0429 / GHSA-wrw7-89jp-8q8g (unsound `glib::VariantStrIter` iterators). It is a transitive dep of Tauri's GTK3 Linux webview stack (gtk 0.18 -> gdk/webkit2gtk -> wry -> tauri); the fix lands only in glib 0.20+, which requires GTK4, and the archived gtk 0.18 crate hard-pins `glib = "0.18"`. The upstream GTK4 migration (wry#1530 / tao#1104) is still draft and unshipped, so there is no published wry/tao/ tauri release that pulls glib >= 0.20. GTK/glib is Linux-only and is never compiled into the shipped Windows (WebView2) or macOS (WKWebView) builds, so the unsound path is unreachable in released artifacts. The GitHub Dependabot alert is dismissed as tolerable risk; record the same exception in the cargo-audit and cargo-deny ignore lists (kept in sync per the audit.toml header) so the rationale and drop condition live in-repo.

Summary
glib::VariantStrIteriterators, medium).glibis a transitive dep of Tauri's GTK3 Linux webview stack (gtk 0.18→gdk/webkit2gtk→wry 0.55→tauri 2.11.3). The fix is only inglib 0.20+, which requires GTK4; the archivedgtk 0.18crate hard-pinsglib = "0.18". The upstream GTK4 migration (wry#1530 / tao#1104) is still draft and unshipped, and we're already on the latest publishedtauri/wry/tao, so no dependency or framework bump changes this.tolerable_risk, and recorded the same exception in thecargo-audit(.cargo/audit.toml) andcargo-deny(deny.toml) ignore lists — kept in sync per the audit.toml header, with the full rationale + drop condition (revisit when Tauri's Linux backend ships on glib ≥ 0.20).Test plan
