How to fix?

Upgrade tracing to version 0.1.40 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free via the incorrect use of std::mem::forget in the Instrumented::into_inner method. An attacker can potentially cause a stack use-after-free if the compiler reuses the stack slot of the self object after std::mem::forget has been called, leading to undefined behavior and possible exploitation.
