GHSA-rwq6-crjg-9cpw: ic-cdk has a memory leak when calling a canister method via `ic_cdk::call`

When a canister method is called via `ic_cdk::call*`, a new Future `CallFuture` is created and can be awaited by the caller to get the execution result. Internally, the state of the Future is tracked and stored in a struct called `CallFutureState`. A bug in the polling implementation of the `CallFuture` allows multiple references to be held for this internal state and not all references were dropped before the `Future` is resolved. Since we have unaccounted references held, a copy of the internal state ended up being persisted in the canister's heap and thus causing a memory leak. ### Impact Canisters built in Rust with `ic_cdk` and `ic_cdk_timers` are affected. If these canisters call a canister method, use timers or heartbeat, they will likely leak a small amount of memory on every such operation. **In the worst case, this could lead to heap memory exhaustion triggered by an attacker.** Motoko based canisters are not affected by the bug. ### Patches The patch has been backporte...

GHSA-fv4g-gwpj-74gr: Path traversal vulnerability in stripe-cli

### Impact A vulnerability exists in stripe-cli versions 1.11.1 and higher where a plugin package containing a manifest with a malformed plugin shortname installed using the --archive-url or --archive-path flags can overwrite arbitrary files. The update addresses the path traversal vulnerability by removing the ability to install plugins from an archive URL or path. There has been no evidence of exploitation of this vulnerability. ### Recommendation Upgrade to stripe-cli v1.21.3. ### For more information Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
