insert_slice_clone can double drop if Clone panics.

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 24, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jun 13, 2023

Description

Affected versions of this crate used ptr::copy when inserting into the middle of a Vec. When ownership was temporarily duplicated during this copy, it calls the clone method of a user provided element.

This issue can result in an element being double-freed if the clone call panics.

Commit 20cb73d fixed this issue by adding a set_len(0) call before operating on the vector to avoid dropping the elements during a panic.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
