CVE-2021-38190

An issue was discovered in the nalgebra crate before 0.27.1 for Rust. It allows out-of-bounds memory access because it does not ensure that the number of elements is equal to the product of the row count and column count.

An issue was discovered in the nalgebra crate before 0.27.1 for Rust. It allows out-of-bounds memory access because it does not ensure that the number of elements is equal to the product of the row count and column count.

The Deserialize implementation for VecStorage did not maintain the invariant that the number of elements must equal nrows * ncols. Deserialization of specially crafted inputs could allow memory access beyond allocation of the vector.

This flaw was introduced in v0.11.0 (086e6e) due to the addition of an automatically derived implementation of Deserialize for MatrixVec. MatrixVec was later renamed to VecStorage in v0.16.13 (0f66403) and continued to use the automatically derived implementation of Deserialize.

This flaw was corrected in commit 5bff536 by returning an error during deserialization if the number of elements does not exactly match the expected size.
