Multiple security issues including data race, buffer overflow, and uninitialized memory drop in arr
arr crate contains multiple security issues. Specifically,
- It incorrectly implements Sync/Send bounds, which allows to smuggle non-Sync/Send types across the thread boundary.
- Index and IndexMut implementation does not check the array bound.
- Array::new_from_template() drops uninitialized memory.
