Description Fabio Valentini 2023-06-12 09:52:24 UTC 
c.f. https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2023-0020.html

The last release of the "const-cstr" crate was on 2018-02-10. This is also the last day on which code changes happened in the project's git repo on GitHub. The project is now a read-only archive.

The code has some issues that violate Rust soundness rules and can lead to panics when parsing untrusted data.

The const_str and cstr crates are listed as possible alternatives.

Reproducible: Always
