Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-642: External Control of Critical State Data, where the product stores security-critical state information about its users, or the product itself, in a location that is accessible to unauthorized actors. In Duplicate Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-7g9j-g5jg-3vv3. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description The snow crate before 0.9.5 for Rust, when stateful TransportState is used, allows incrementing a nonce and thereby denying message delivery.
