Make assignment operators panic safe #71
Conversation
Can you explain how? This should not be possible, because there is no unsafe code executed in these methods. |
Oh, I understand now. During unwinding, or if the panic is caught, a Good catch, and thanks! |
Release notes: * Make assignment operators panic safe (#71). This fixes a bug that could cause undefined behavior in safe code.

…erators After using an assignment operators such as `NotNat::add_assign`, `NotNan::mul_assign`, etc., it was possible for the resulting `NotNan` value to contain a `NaN`. This could cause undefined behavior in safe code, because the safe `NotNan::cmp` method contains internal unsafe code that assumes the value is never `NaN`. (It could also cause undefined behavior in third-party unsafe code that makes the same assumption, as well as logic errors in safe code.) This was mitigated starting in version 0.4.0, by panicking if the assigned value is NaN. However, in affected versions from 0.4.0 onward, code that continued after using unwinding to catch this panic could still observe the invalid value and trigger undefined behavior. The flaw is fully corrected in versions 1.1.1 and 2.0.1, by ensuring that the assignment operators panic without modifying the operand, if the result would be `NaN`. Fix details: reem/rust-ordered-float#20 reem/rust-ordered-float#71

Published ordered-float 1.1.1 and 2.0.1, and submitted a security advisory: rustsec/advisory-db#514 |
I haven't fixed this on the ordered-float 0.5 branch, because backporting is non-trivial and the test suite on that branch uses unstable features that are broken in modern Rust toolchains. There are only a few actively-developed crates still using ordered-float 0.5, and the ones with source code available (descartes, prolog_parser, scryer-prolog) are not impacted by this bug. Anyone using ordered-float 0.5 should upgrade to a newer version as soon as possible. |
See GHSA-566x-hhrf-qf8m This was fixed in v1.1.1, see reem/rust-ordered-float#71 (comment)
Current behavior allows UB in safe code.
