Description

Impact

Affected versions of this crate incorrectly assumed that the alignment of {i,u}64 was always the same as Atomic{I,U}64.

However, the alignment of {i,u}64 on a 32-bit target can be smaller than Atomic{I,U}64.

This can cause the following problems:

  • Unaligned memory accesses
  • Data race

Crates using fetch_* methods with AtomicCell<{i,u}64> are affected by this issue.

32-bit targets without Atomic{I,U}64 and 64-bit targets are not affected by this issue.

32-bit targets with Atomic{I,U}64 and {i,u}64 have the same alignment are also not affected by this issue.

The following is a complete list of the builtin targets that may be affected. (last update: nightly-2022-02-11)

  • armv7-apple-ios (tier 3)
  • armv7s-apple-ios (tier 3)
  • i386-apple-ios (tier 3)
  • i586-unknown-linux-gnu
  • i586-unknown-linux-musl
  • i686-apple-darwin (tier 3)
  • i686-linux-android
  • i686-unknown-freebsd
  • i686-unknown-haiku (tier 3)
