CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade thread_local to version 1.1.4 or higher.

Overview

thread_local is a library which allow a separate copy of an object to be used for each thread. This allows for per-object thread-local storage, unlike the standard library's thread_local! macro which only allows static thread-local storage.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Memory Corruption via {Iter, IterMut}::next which uses a weaker memory ordering when loading values than what was required, exposing a potential data race when iterating over ThreadLocal's values.
