Real-World Exposure

1 pkg affected
🦀ruint

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

The function reciprocal_mg10 is marked as safe but can trigger undefined behavior (out-of-bounds access) because it relies on debug_assert! for safety checks instead of assert!.

When compiled in release mode, the debug_assert! is optimized out, potentially allowing invalid inputs to cause memory corruption.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for ruint, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Remediation status

    The records we use list no patched version of ruint for GHSA-9fjq-45qv-pcm7. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

The function `reciprocal_mg10` is marked as safe but can trigger undefined behavior (out-of-bounds access) because it relies on `debug_assert!` for safety checks instead of `assert!`. When compiled in release mode, the `debug_assert!` is optimized out, potentially allowing invalid inputs to cause memory corruption.
