# `Sectors::get` accesses unclaimed/uninitialized memory
Affected versions of this crate arbitrarily calls `Vec::set_len` to increase length of a vector without claiming more memory for the vector. Affected versions of this crate
also calls user-provided `Read` on the uninitialized memory of the vector that was
extended with `Vec::set_len`.
This can overwrite active entities in adjacent heap memory and seems to be a major security issue. Also, calling user-provided `Read` on uninitialized memory is defined as UB in Rust.
