What to do

  1. Find who pulls it in: cargo tree -i wrflib.
  2. Avoid the affected API (wrflib::byte_extract::get_f32_le, wrflib::byte_extract::get_f32_le_as_f32, wrflib::byte_extract::get_f64_le, wrflib::byte_extract::get_f64_le_as_f32, wrflib::byte_extract::get_i16_le, wrflib::byte_extract::get_i16_le_as_f32), or replace the crate.

Details from the advisory

All functions under wrflib::byte_extract are simply wrapper of unsafe pointer offset and lacks sufficient checks to it pointer and offset parameter.

wrflib is unmaintained.
