MediumMetricsAV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
atom crate versions prior to 0.3.6
Description
The issue revolves around the
atom crate's implementation of the Send trait, which incorrectly allows any arbitrary type to be sent across threads. This can potentially lead to use-after-free issues through memory races due to an unsafe Send implementation, allowing a cross-thread data race.Recommendations
For versions prior to 0.3.6, update to version 0.3.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the Send trait implementation in the
atom crate to minimize the risk of exploitation. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
