GHSA-4q83-7cq4-p6wg: `tokio::io::ReadHalf<T>::unsplit` is Unsound
tokio::io::ReadHalf<T>::unsplit
can violate the Pin
contract
The soundness issue is described in the tokio/issues#5372
Specific set of conditions needed to trigger an issue (a !Unpin type in ReadHalf) is unusual, combined with the difficulty of making any arbitrary use-after-free exploitable in Rust without doing a lot of careful alignment of data types in the surrounding code.
The tokio
feature io-util
is also required to be enabled to trigger this
soundness issue.
Thanks to zachs18 reporting the issue to Tokio team responsibly and taiki-e and carllerche appropriately responding and fixing the soundness bug.
Tokio before 0.2.0 used futures
0.1 that did not have Pin
, so it is not
affected by this issue.
