RUSTSEC-2020-0161:
Rust vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The vulnerability RUSTSEC-2020-0161 was identified in the array-macro Rust crate, where the macro scope could not be trusted due to potential trait implementations that could break the crate (GitLab Commit).
Technical details
The vulnerability stemmed from method calls in macros that did not explicitly reference variables, which could lead to unexpected behavior when trait implementations attempted to interfere with the crate's functionality (GitLab Commit).
Mitigation and workarounds
The issue was addressed by modifying the macro to always call methods on references explicitly, preventing potential interference from trait implementations in the macro scope (GitLab Commit).
