Not sure we want to do this yet. We'd previously avoided it because the dependency tree in tx sync is kinda big/annoying, and has a large potential to break MSRV. ContributorAuthor There was a problem hiding this comment. Choose a reason for hiding this commentThe reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more. I'm confused by this: a big part why we moved to a 1.63 MSRV was exactly to be able to do this. As discussed in #2681, we chose 1.63 as it easily covers the

How does this categorize a dependency where multiple minor versions exist? eg if we depend on tokio
1.0and1.0.0has a security vuln, but1.0.1does not, will we get lots of noise or will it miss it?There was a problem hiding this comment.

So
cargo auditgenerates aCargo.lockand compares that to the[versions]field in the RUSTSEC advisory format (see https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db?tab=readme-ov-file#advisory-format).So for example, if I'd revert 348db3b and run
cargo update tokio --precise "1.14.1" && cargo auditit would yield:If I'm not pinning
tokio, it would check against 1.35 and wouldn't yield this vulnerability.Moreover, the
audit-checkjob has anignorefield via which we could tell it to ignore individual advisories if we wanted to.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Right, so if, for example, we ship a binary release with tokio 1.14.1 then this job won't complain because 1.14.2 exists and fixes the bug (or whatever) and this job always generates a fresh Cargo.lock, causing it to just silently test against 1.14.2 once it exists.

Yes. I think this is the behavior should be a good middleground, and essentially exactly what we want?

I think its great for the Rust side of the house, but we'll need to build something separate for bindings to validate against our released binaries and get notifications when those need bumping.

Good point, indeed
cargo auditalso supports auditing binaries (see https://github.com/RustSec/rustsec/tree/main/cargo-audit#cargo-audit-bin-subcommand), however, this is probably an extra step and shouldn't happen in this PR I believe. We could even consider making this a manual step whenever we get notified of an advisory by this CI job. At that point we could manually go back and audit our last X releases to see which ones are affected. To that end, we may want to compile our release binaries withcargo auditable, which should make the output more accurate I believe.There was a problem hiding this comment.

For that it seems simpler to just check in or otherwise keep a
Cargo.locksomewhere which describes the dependencies we shipped in the latest (2?) binary releases, no? We could check them in upstream here so that this job automatically checks them, or we chould just leave it.
