RUSTSEC-2023-0070
No affected components available
All public versions prior to 1.02 used an insufficient check to ensure that
users correctly marked the dependent type as either covariant or
not_covariant. This allowed users to mark a dependent as covariant even though
its type was not covariant but invariant, for certain invariant types involving
trait object lifetimes. One example for such a dependent type is type Dependent<'a> = RefCell<Box<dyn fmt::Display + 'a>>. Such a type allowed
unsound usage in purely safe user code that leads to undefined behavior. The
patched versions now produce a compile time error if such a type is marked as
covariant.
