How to fix?

Upgrade va-ts to version 0.0.4 or higher.

Overview

va-ts is a MPEG-TS implementation for Rust.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Synchronization when Demuxer<T> unconditionally implemented Send with no trait bounds on T. This allows sending a non-Send type T across thread boundaries, which can cause undefined behavior like unlocking a mutex from a thread that didn't lock the mutex, or memory corruption from data race.
