How to Fix GHSA-h7h7-6mx3-r89v

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Fyrox has unsound usages of `Vec dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

fyrox-core fixed: 0.36 
Upgrade fyrox-core to 0.36
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for fyrox-core

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-h7h7-6mx3-r89v, inspect your project dependencies for Fyrox has unsound usages of `Vec:

inspect dependencies for fyrox-core

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Fyrox has unsound usages of `Vec in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.36), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Fyrox has unsound usages of `Vec, 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

The library provides a public safe API `transmute_vec_as_bytes`, which incorrectly assumes that any generic type `T` could have stable layout, causing to uninitialized memory exposure if the users pass any types with padding bytes as `T` and cast it to `u8` pointer. In the [issue](https://github.com/FyroxEngine/Fyrox/issues/630), we develop a PoC to show passing struct type to `transmute_vec_as_bytes` could lead to undefined behavior with `Vec::from_raw_parts`. The developers provide a patch by changing trait of `Copy` to `Pod`, which can make sure `T` should be plain data. This was patched in the latest version of [master](https://github.com/FyroxEngine/Fyrox/blob/3f9ad6f9667047dac051b0e97d544e5b38e5ae72/fyrox-core/src/lib.rs#L351-L360) branch, but still not on the latest release (0.28.1).
