RUSTSEC-2020-0147 is a soundness issue discovered in the Rust library 'rulinalg', specifically affecting the raw_slice and raw_slice_mut methods. The vulnerability was reported on February 11, 2020, and involves incorrect lifetime bounds that could lead to undefined behavior in safe Rust code (GitHub Issue).
The vulnerability stems from an implementation flaw where raw_slice and raw_slice_mut methods create a bounded reference from &self with incorrect lifetime parameters. The returned slice, which is created from a stored pointer in &self, is incorrectly bounded by lifetime 'a instead of 'self lifetime. This technical oversight allows for the creation of multiple mutable references to the same memory location, violating Rust's fundamental safety guarantees (GitHub Issue).
The vulnerability enables the creation of multiple mutable references to the same memory location in safe Rust code, which can lead to data races and undefined behavior. This directly contradicts Rust's core safety principles and memory safety guarantees (GitHub Issue).
