crossbeam-deque Data Race before v0.7.4 and v0.8.1

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Aug 2, 2021 in crossbeam-rs/crossbeam • Updated Jan 29, 2023

Package

cargo crossbeam-deque (Rust)

Affected versions

< 0.7.4
>= 0.8.0, < 0.8.1

Patched versions

0.7.4
0.8.1

Description

Impact

In the affected version of this crate, the result of the race condition is that one or more tasks in the worker queue can be popped twice instead of other tasks that are forgotten and never popped. If tasks are allocated on the heap, this can cause double free and a memory leak. If not, this still can cause a logical bug.

Crates using Stealer::steal, Stealer::steal_batch, or Stealer::steal_batch_and_pop are affected by this issue.

Patches

This has been fixed in crossbeam-deque 0.8.1 and 0.7.4.

This issue was reported and fixed by Maor Kleinberger.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
