Gist here. A solution to this would be to set len = index before iterating. Obviously this would cause leaks but we're already leaking data.

(Sorry for the very verbose explanation in the linked gist but I wanted to link it as part of an article whose audience might not immediately understand the problem).

Good catch. The proposed solution sounds good to me.

Double free is an exploitable security vulnerability. Once the fix is released, please add this issue to the Rust security advisory database.

I would also urge you to publish a fixed version ASAP. Despite the fact that the double free only happens on panic, this bug still can be exploited in a multi-threaded application that catches panics. Also, panics are really easy to trigger in many popular crates.

Would you consider yanking vulnerable versions from crates.io?

Existing dependencies on them will continue to work, but people won't be able to make new crates depending on vulnerable versions by following e.g. a tutorial that was not updated following this advisory.

Edit: nevermind, already answered here

this makes sure we no longer depend on smallvec 0.2.1 which is
affected by servo/rust-smallvec#96

Since parity is built for "mission critical use", I thought other operators may see the need for this.

Adding the `curl` and `jq` commands allows for an extremely simple health check to be usable in container orchestrators.

For example. Here is a health check for a parity docker container running in Kubernetes.

This can be setup as a readiness Probe that would prevent clustered nodes that aren't ready from serving traffic.

```bash
#!/bin/bash

ETH_SYNCING=$(curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_syncing","params":[],"id":1}' http://localhost:8545 -H 'Content-Type: application/json')
RESULT=$(echo "$ETH_SYNCING | jq -r .result)

if [ "$RESULT" == "false" ]; then
  echo "Parity is ready to start accepting traffic"
  exit 0
else
  echo "Parity is still syncing the blockchain"
  exit 1
fi
```

* add sync check script

* Fix docker script (#9854)

* bump smallvec to 0.6 in ethcore-light, ethstore and whisper
