Rust vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The vulnerability (GHSA-pr59-jjr4-gcf6) affects the anon-vec Rust crate, which was identified to have insufficient checks in its public API. The issue was reported on May 6, 2025, and officially issued on June 2, 2025. The vulnerability affects versions 0.1.1 and below of the anon-vec crate (RustSec, GitHub Advisory).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from unsound implementations in three key functions of the AnonVec crate: AnonVec::getref(), AnonVec::getmut(), and AnonVec::remove_get(). These functions lack proper argument validation, potentially leading to memory corruption issues. The vulnerability has been classified with CWE-20 and assigned a Low severity rating (GitHub Advisory).
Impact
The insufficient checks in the public API functions could lead to memory corruption issues when using the affected functions. The impact is particularly concerning as it affects core vector operations including reference retrieval and element removal (RustSec).
Mitigation and workarounds
Currently, there are no patched versions available for this vulnerability. Given that the crate was built as a learning project and is not being maintained, users are advised to seek alternative implementations or crates for their vector operations (RustSec).
