Last modified

CVE-2020-25016 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. A safety violation was discovered in the rgb crate before 0.8.20 for Rust, leading to (for example) dereferencing of arbitrary pointers or disclosure of uninitialized memory. This occurs because structs can be treated as bytes for read and write operations.. EPSS estimates a 1.59% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
