0.7.1 (older version) safe-to-deploy

From bytecodealliance/wasmtime. By Alex Crichton.

This crate is a Rust implementation of zlib compression/decompression and has been used by default by the Rust standard library for quite some time. It's also a default dependency of the popular backtrace crate for decompressing debug information. This crate forbids unsafe code and does not otherwise access system resources. It's originally a port of the miniz.c library as well, and given its own longevity should be relatively hardened against some of the more common compression-related issues.

cargo-vet does not verify reviewers' identity. You have to fully trust the source the audits are from.

safe-to-deploy (implies safe-to-run)

This crate will not introduce a serious security vulnerability to production software exposed to untrusted input. More…

safe-to-run

This crate can be compiled, run, and tested on a local workstation or in controlled automation without surprising consequences. More…

does-not-implement-crypto (implies crypto-safe)

Inspection reveals that the crate in question does not attempt to implement any cryptographic algorithms on its own.

Note that certification of this does not require an expert on all forms of cryptography: it's expected for crates we import to be "good enough" citizens, so they'll at least be forthcoming if they try to implement something cryptographic. When in doubt, please ask an expert.

crypto-safe
Implied by other criteria

All crypto algorithms in this crate have been reviewed by a relevant expert.

Note: If a crate does not implement crypto, use does-not-implement-crypto, which implies crypto-safe, but does not require expert review in order to audit for.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories. There is absolutely no guarantee that the repository URL declared by the crate belongs to the crate, or that the code in the repository is the code inside the published tarball.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open miniz_oxide. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of miniz_oxide v0.7.3 or view the source online.
