NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rust-std-static package and not the rust-std-static package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the standard library in Rust before 1.50.0, read_to_end() does not validate the return value from Read in an unsafe context. This bug could lead to a buffer overflow.
