{"id":"RUSTSEC-2022-0028","summary":"Use after free in Neon external buffers","details":"Neon provides functionality for creating JavaScript `ArrayBuffer` (and the `Buffer` subtype) instances backed by bytes allocated outside of V8/Node. The [`JsArrayBuffer::external`](https://docs.rs/neon/0.10.0/neon/types/struct.JsArrayBuffer.html#method.external) and [`JsBuffer::external`](https://docs.rs/neon/0.10.0/neon/types/struct.JsBuffer.html#method.external) did not require `T: 'static` prior to Neon `0.10.1`. This allowed creating an externally backed buffer from types that may be freed while they are still referenced by a JavaScript `ArrayBuffer`.\n\nThe following example demonstrates use after free. It compiles on versions `\u003c0.10.1` and fails to compile afterward.\n\n```rust\npub fn soundness_hole(mut cx: FunctionContext) -\u003e JsResult\u003cJsArrayBuffer\u003e {\n    let mut data = vec![0u8, 1, 2, 3];\n    \n    // Creating an external from `&mut [u8]` instead of `Vec\u003cu8\u003e` since there is a blanket impl\n    // of `AsMut\u003cT\u003e for &mut T`\n    let buf = JsArrayBuffer::external(&mut cx, data.as_mut_slice());\n\n    // `buf` is still holding a reference to `data`!\n    drop(data);\n\n    Ok(buf)\n}\n```","aliases":["GHSA-8mj7-wxmc-f424"],"modified":"2023-11-08T04:17:25.410603Z","published":"2022-05-22T12:00:00Z","database_specific":{"license":"CC0-1.0"},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://crates.io/crates/neon"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2022-0028.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/neon-bindings/neon/issues/896"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"neon","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/neon"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.8.0"},{"fixed":"0.10.1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"affected_functions":null,"affects":{"arch":[],"functions":["neon::types::JsArrayBuffer::external","neon::types::JsBuffer::external"],"os":[]}},"database_specific":{"categories":["memory-corruption","memory-exposure"],"cvss":null,"informational":null,"source":"https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db/blob/osv/crates/RUSTSEC-2022-0028.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
