Add chrono advisory for chrono#499 (localtime_r) (#1082)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is an advisory similar to `RUSTSEC-2020-0071` impacting usages of
`localtime_r` within `chrono` itself, since the API is used in a
cross-thread manner in an unsound way.

# Potential segfault in `localtime_r` invocations

### Impact

Unix-like operating systems may segfault due to dereferencing a dangling pointer in specific circumstances. This requires an environment variable to be set in a different thread than the affected functions. This may occur without the user's knowledge, notably in a third-party library.

### Workarounds

No workarounds are known.
