Integer overflow in `array::ReadWrite::new()` leading to potential memory corruption

In array::ReadWrite::new line 83 of accessor/src/array.rs, let bytes = mem::sizeof:: len can overflow usize when len is very large. In release mode, this silently wraps, potentially making bytes = 0. The mapper then maps with 0 bytes, and subsequent accesses e.g. readvolatileat lead to undefined...

`tracing-ethers` was removed from crates.io due to malicious code

The tracing-ethers crate attempted to exfiltrate ssh keys to an app hosted on vercel.app The malicious crate had 9 version published on 2026-03-09 approximately 5 days before removal and had no evidence of actual downloads. There were no crates depending on this crate on crates.io. Thanks to the...

`IterMut` violates Stacked Borrows by invalidating internal pointer

Affected versions of this crate contain a soundness issue in the IterMut iterator implementation. The IterMut::next and IterMut::nextback methods temporarily create an exclusive reference to the key when dereferencing the internal node pointer. This invalidates the shared pointer held by the...

`tree-sitter-pkl` was removed from crates.io for malicious code

Invalid use of `mem::uninitialized` causes `use-of-uninitialized-value`

The compression and decompression function used mem:uninitialized to create an array of uninitialized values, to later write values into it. This later leads to reads from uninitialized memory. The flaw was corrected in commit b633bf265e41c60dfce3be7eac4e4dd5e18d06cf by using a heap-allocated Vec...

Stack overflow in rustc_serialize when parsing deeply nested JSON

When parsing JSON using json::Json::fromstr, there is no limit to the depth of the stack, therefore deeply nested objects can cause a stack overflow, which aborts the process.
