Overview
crossbeam-channel is a crate that provides multi-producer multi-consumer channels for message passing. It is an alternative to std::sync::mpsc with more features and better performance.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Double Free due to the Drop method's handling of the Channel type. An attacker can cause memory corruption by exploiting the race condition that leads to a double-free scenario.
