Advisories for Cargo/Scratchpad package

The get and set methods of the public trait scratchpad::Tracking interact with unsafe code regions in the crate, and they influence the computation of addresses returned as raw pointers. However, the trait itself is not marked as unsafe, meaning users may provide custom implementations under the assumption that the crate upholds all safety guarantees. This becomes problematic because even safe implementations of get and set-written without using any unsafe code-can …

Affected versions of scratchpad used ptr::read to read elements while calling a user provided function f on them. Since the pointer read duplicates ownership, a panic inside the user provided f function could cause a double free when unwinding. The flaw was fixed in commit 891561bea by removing the unsafe block and using a plain iterator.
