There is no fixed version for arenavec.
Overview
arenavec is an An arena backed implementation of vectors and related types.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow via the arenavec::common::AllocHandle, which allows the return of raw pointers through its methods allocate and allocate_or_extend. An attacker can achieve arbitrary memory access, cause a heap buffer overflow, or trigger a double free by exploiting unsafe handling of raw pointers, mismatches between allocated memory and capacity, or duplicated ownership of heap memory.
