Summary
Affected versions contain multiple memory safety issues, such as: - Unsoundly coercing immutable references to mutable references - Unsoundly extending lifetimes of strings - Adding the `Send` marker trait to objects that cannot be safely sent between threads This may result in a variety of memory corruption scenarios, most likely use-after-free. A signficant refactoring effort has been conducted to resolve these issues.
