Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Double Free in the IntoIter::drop and ThinVec::clear() functions when a panic occurs during element deallocation. An attacker can achieve memory corruption, including potential arbitrary code execution, by triggering a panic in the Drop implementation of an element, which can lead to use-after-free or double free conditions. This is only exploitable if the container holds heap-owning types and the Drop implementation of an element panics during deallocation.
