CVE-2021-26951
An issue was discovered in the calamine crate before 0.17.0 for Rust.
Impact
An issue was discovered in the calamine crate before 0.17.0 for Rust. It allows attackers to overwrite heap-memory locations because Vec::set_len is used without proper memory claiming, and this uninitialized memory is used for a user-provided Read operation, as demonstrated by Sectors::get.
