Advisories for Cargo/Pyo3 package

In PyO3 0.23.0 the PYO3_CONFIG_FILE environment variable used to configure builds regressed such that changing the environment variable would no longer trigger PyO3 to reconfigure and recompile. In combination with workflows using tools such as maturin to build for multiple versions in a single build, this leads to Python wheels being compiled against the wrong Python API version. All users who distribute artefacts for multiple Python versions are encouraged to …

The family of functions to read "borrowed" values from Python weak references were fundamentally unsound, because the weak reference does itself not have ownership of the value. At any point the last strong reference could be cleared and the borrowed value would become dangling. In PyO3 0.22.4 these functions have all been deprecated and patched to leak a strong reference as a mitigation. PyO3 0.23 will remove these functions entirely.

An issue was discovered in the pyo3 crate before 0.12.4 for Rust. There is a reference-counting error and use-after-free in From<Py>.
