How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable rustc to version 1.2.0+dfsg1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rustc package and not the rustc package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

In the standard library in Rust before 1.2.0, BinaryHeap is not panic-safe. The binary heap is left in an inconsistent state when the comparison of generic elements inside sift_up or sift_down_range panics. This bug leads to a drop of zeroed memory as an arbitrary type, which can result in a memory safety violation.
