- Issue
- This issue and vector is similar to [RUSTSEC-2020-0029] of rgb crate which mozjpeg depends on. Affected versions of mozjpeg crate allow creating instances of any type T from bytes, and do not correctly constrain T to the types for which it is safe to do so. Examples of safety violation possible for a type T: T contains a reference type, and it constructs a pointer to an invalid, arbitrary memory address. T requires a safety and/or validity invariant for its construction that may be violated. The issue was fixed in 0.8.19 by using safer types and involving rgb dependency bump.

Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.8.19 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
