Code reviews of the RcuCell crate // Lib.rs

RUSTSEC-2020-0131 on 2020-11-14: Send/Sync bound needed on T for Send/Sync impl of RcuCell<T>

Affected versions of this crate unconditionally implement Send/Sync for RcuCell<T>. This allows users to send T: !Send to other threads (while T enclosed within RcuCell<T>), and allows users to concurrently access T: !Sync by using the APIs of RcuCell<T> that provide access to &T.

This can result in memory corruption caused by data races.

CVE-2020-36451

This crate has no reviews yet. To add a review, set up your cargo-crev.

Lib.rs has been able to verify that all files in the crate's tarball are in the crate's repository with a git tag matching the version. Please note that this check is still in beta, and absence of this confirmation does not mean that the files don't match.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories, so there is a possibility that published crates have a misleading repository URL, or contain different code from the code in the repository.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open rcu_cell. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of rcu_cell v1.1.0 or view the source online.
