```toml [advisory] id = "RUSTSEC-2022-0067" package = "lzf" date = "2022-10-22" url = "https://github.com/badboy/lzf-rs/issues/9" informational = "unsound" keywords = ["uninitialized-memory"] aliases = ["GHSA-5m39-wx2q-mxg3"] [versions] patched = [">= 0.3.2"] [affected] functions = { "lzf::compress" = ["< 0.3.2"], "lzf::decompress" = ["< 0.3.2"] } ``` # 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` and removing out use of `mem::uninitialized`. The fix was released in v0.3.2 and v1.0.0 Subsequently the crate was deprecated and its use is discouraged.
