RUSTSEC-2019-0005 on 2019-06-15: Format string vulnerabilities in pancurses

pancurses::mvprintw and pancurses::printw passes a pointer from a rust &str to C, allowing hostile input to execute a format string attack, which trivially allows writing arbitrary data to stack memory.

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 pancurses. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of pancurses v0.17.0 or view the source online.
