Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2021-04-13 17:09:03 UTC 
In the standard library in Rust before 1.49.0, VecDeque::make_contiguous has a bug that pops the same element more than once under certain condition. This bug could result in a use-after-free or double free.

Reference:

Upstream patch:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79814
Comment 1 Cedric Buissart 2021-04-16 15:28:30 UTC 
Statement:

VecDeque::make_contiguous is not considered stable is versions of rust prior to 1:48. As a result, it should not be used as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 8.3 and older.
Comment 2 Josh Stone 2021-04-16 18:20:53 UTC 
FWIW, that fix was also beta-backported in time for the 1.49.0 release.
