RUSTSEC-2020-0099: 
Rust vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

An issue was discovered in the aovec crate through 2020-12-10 for Rust. The vulnerability (RUSTSEC-2020-0099) stems from Aovec not having proper bounds on its Send trait or Sync trait, which could lead to data races and memory corruption (Rust Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability is characterized by improper synchronization (CWE-662) and potential out-of-bounds write (CWE-787). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.0 (HIGH), with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating local access requirements but high potential impact (NVD Database).

Impact

The vulnerability can result in data races and memory corruption due to unbounded Send and Sync trait implementations. This could potentially lead to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems using the affected versions of the aovec crate (Rust Advisory).

Exploitability

The vulnerability requires local access and has high attack complexity. An attacker needs low privileges but no user interaction to exploit this vulnerability (NVD Database).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users should upgrade to a version after 2020-12-10 of the aovec crate that includes proper bounds on Send and Sync traits (Rust Advisory).
