CVE-2020-35881

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.
