Description

Insufficient archive validation can cause out-of-bounds reads in archives containing hash tables

The archive validator could accept certain malformed relative pointers and

invalid ArchivedHashTable states. In particular, the hash table verifier did

not ensure that the number of occupied buckets matched the table's declared

length.

A crafted archive could pass the checks performed by the safe rkyv::access

and rkyv::from_bytes APIs and then cause an out-of-bounds read in later

validation, lookup, or deserialization. Depending on the input, this could

perform scalar or SIMD reads outside the archive buffer or crash the process.

Version 0.8.17 strengthens archive range validation and rejects hash tables

whose number of occupied buckets does not match their declared length. Users

who process untrusted archives should upgrade to 0.8.17 or later.
