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.

Note that there are reports of this impacting real-world code.

Is it possible to whitelist a crate using chrono as not-vulnerable based on the fact that it does not call localtime_r? This is the case for tiny-http.

It's been suggested before but not something we support: #288.

More generally we've wanted to support false positive elimination via call graph analysis: rustsec/rustsec#21

Thanks for pointers! Call graph analysis sounds useful but not perfect because in some situations there may be multiple factors, so I think #288 is still valuable and probably easier to implement.

Due to a CVE in chrono[0] we switch to time 0.3.3. Chrono actually
depends on an older, similarly vulnerable version of `time` but newer
versions of `time` seem to offer everything we need to validate dates
and times anyway.
