The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 7.5 (HIGH) with vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (RustSec).
Impact
The vulnerability can lead to memory corruption through double-free conditions, which could result in program crashes and potential denial of service (RustSec).
Mitigation and workarounds
As of the last available information, there are no patched versions available for this vulnerability. Users of the ordnung crate should consider using alternative implementations or ensure proper bounds checking before calling remove() (RustSec).
