Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The tough crate (crates.io) versions 0.9.0 through 0.21.x and the tuftool crate through 0.14.x are affected. An attacker holding delegated signing authority on a TUF repository, which is a remote authenticated role, can serve expired or otherwise invalid delegated targets metadata that tough accepts, because delegated metadata is missing expiration, hash, and length checks. Upgrade tough to 0.22.0 and tuftool to 0.15.0. No workarounds are known.
