• OwningRef::map_with_owner is unsound and may result in a use-after-free.
• OwningRef::map is unsound and may result in a use-after-free.
• OwningRefMut::as_owner and OwningRefMut::as_owner_mut are unsound and may result in a use-after-free.
• The crate violates Rust's aliasing rules, which may cause miscompilations on recent compilers that emit the LLVM noalias attribute.

safer_owning_ref is a replacement crate which fixes these issues. No patched versions of the original crate are available, and the maintainer is unresponsive.

PyString::from_object took &str arguments and forwarded them directly to the Python C API without checking for terminating nul bytes. This could lead the Python interpreter to read beyond the end of the &str data and potentially leak contents of the out-of-bounds read (by raising a Python exception containing a copy of the data including the overflow).

In PyO3 0.24.1 this function will now allocate a CString to guarantee a terminating nul bytes. PyO3 0.25 will likely offer an alternative API which takes &CStr arguments.
