NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rustc package and not the rustc package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the standard library in Rust before 1.52.0, the Zip implementation calls __iterator_get_unchecked() more than once for the same index (under certain conditions) when next_back() and next() are used together. This bug could lead to a memory safety violation due to an unmet safety requirement for the TrustedRandomAccess trait.
