# Use of uninitialized memory in temporary
Uninit memory is used as a RNG seed in temporary
The following function is used as a way to get entropy from the system, which does operations on and exposes uninit memory, which is UB.
```rust
fn random_seed(_: &Path, _: &str) -> [u64; 2] {
use std::mem::uninitialized as rand;
unsafe { [rand::<u64>() ^ 0x12345678, rand::<u64>() ^ 0x87654321] }
}
```
This has been resolved in the 0.6.4 release.
The crate is not intended to be used outside of a testing environment.
For a general purpose crate to create temporary directories, [`tempfile`](https://crates.io/crates/tempfile) is an alternative for this crate.
