Summary

olm-sys: wrapped library unmaintained, potentially vulnerable

Details

After several cryptographic vulnerabilities in libolm were disclosed publicly, the Matrix Foundation has officially deprecated the library. olm-sys is a thin wrapper around libolm and is now deprecated and potentially vulnerable in kind.

Users of olm-sys and its higher-level abstraction, olm-rs, are highly encouraged to switch to vodozemac as soon as possible. It is the successor effort to libolm and is written in Rust.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
