Description
*This advisory is also published as RUSTSEC-2023-0074.*
The `Ref` methods `into_ref`, `into_mut`, `into_slice`, and `into_slice_mut` are unsound and may allow safe code to exhibit undefined behavior when used with `Ref` where `B` is `cell::Ref` or `cell::RefMut`. Note that these methods remain sound when used with `B` types other than `cell::Ref` or `cell::RefMut`.
See https://github.com/google/zerocopy/issues/716 for a more in-depth analysis.
The current plan is to yank the affected versions soon. See https://github.com/google/zerocopy/issues/679 for more detail.
