How to fix?

There is no fixed version for convec.

Overview

convec is a Concurrent vector.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Memory Corruption. This is due to unconditional implementation of Send/Sync for ConVec<T>. This allows users to insert T that is not Send or not Sync. It is also possible to create data races by using types like Cell<_> or RefCell<_> as T (types that are Send but not Sync). Such data races can lead to memory corruption.
