Description
Multiple soundness issues in Ptr in cgc
Affected versions of this crate have the following issues:
-
Ptr implements Send and Sync for all types, this can lead to data
races by sending non-thread safe types across threads.
-
Ptr::get violates mutable alias rules by returning multiple mutable
references to the same object.
-
Ptr::write uses non-atomic writes to the underlying pointer. This means
that when used across threads it can lead to data races.

Click to expand
- Attack vector (AV:N)
- Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
- Attack complexity (AC:H)
- Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
- Privileges required (PR:N)
- No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
- User interaction (UI:N)
- Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
- Scope (S:U)
- Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
- Confidentiality (C:N)
- Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
- Integrity (I:N)
- Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
- Availability (A:H)
- Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
