Summary
Use-after-free when a future's `Drop` panics while the container is dropped
Details
Storage::clear walks the slab, empties each entry and frees the Task
allocation once its reference count reaches zero. self.tasks.set_len(0) only
runs after the loop.
Emptying an entry drops the user future it holds, and T carries no bounds
excluding a panicking Drop. If one unwinds, the length is never committed and
self.tasks still holds the pointers already processed. Drop for Storage
calls clear again, and the second pass dereferences (*task.as_ptr()).entry
on allocations the first pass already freed — a use-after-free (CWE-416)
reachable from safe Rust.
Storage is reached only through Unordered, whose Drop calls clear. No
particular method call is needed; dropping the container is enough.
Mitigation
Update to 0.10.3.
