CVE-2020-35881
CVSS v3.1
9.8
Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
traitobject crate through 2020-06-01
Description
The issue arises from false expectations about fat pointers in the traitobject crate, which could lead to memory corruption. This occurs because the crate assumes the first element in a fat pointer is the data pointer, an assumption that may not hold in future Rust versions.
Recommendations
For the traitobject crate through 2020-06-01, consider using the fixed version from the master branch until it is released into crates.io. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the traitobject crate in critical applications where memory corruption could have significant consequences. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
