In the affected version of this crate, {Iter, IterMut}::next used a weaker memory ordering when loading values than what was required, exposing a potential data race when iterating over a ThreadLocal's values.

Crates using Iter::next, or IterMut::next are affected by this issue.

On Windows, configuring a named pipe server with pipe_mode will force ServerOptions::reject_remote_clients as false.

This drops any intended explicit configuration for the reject_remote_clients that may have been set as true previously.

The default setting of reject_remote_clients is normally true meaning the default is also overridden as false.

Workarounds

Ensure that pipe_mode is set first after initializing a ServerOptions. For example:

let mut opts = ServerOptions::new();
opts.pipe_mode(PipeMode::Message);
opts.reject_remote_clients(true);

The safe API functions constant::Reader::get and StructSchema::new rely on PointerReader::get_root_unchecked, which can cause undefined behavior (UB) by constructing arbitrary words or schemas.

Reader::get

pub fn get(&self) -> Result<<T as Owned>::Reader<'static>> {
    // ...
    // UNSAFE: access `words` without validation
}

StructSchema::new

pub fn new(builder: RawBrandedStructSchema) -> StructSchema {
    // ...
    // UNSAFE: access encoded nodes without validation
}

This vulnerability allows safe Rust code to trigger UB, which violates Rust's safety guarantees.

The issue is resolved in version 0.24.0 by making constructor functions unsafe and mark the fields of struct as visible only in the crate.
