    miow invalidly assumes the memory layout of std::net::SocketAddr

    CVE-2020-35921 · GHSA-jrcf-4jp8-m28v

    Affected
    • crates.io miow >= 0.3.0, < 0.3.6
    Fixed in
    0.3.6· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    The miow crate has assumed std::net::SocketAddrV4 and std::net::SocketAddrV6 have the same memory layout as the system C representation sockaddr. It has simply casted the pointers to convert the socket addresses to the system representation. The standard library does not say anything about the memory layout, and this will cause invalid memory access if the standard library changes the implementation. No warnings or errors will be emitted once the change happens.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.3.6 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
