Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The block_buffer crate, versions 0.11.0 up to but not including 0.12.1, can have the cursor position of EagerBuffer or ReadBuffer left corrupted after a caught panic, which can lead to out-of-bounds reads and writes. Exploitation requires that the surrounding code catches a panic and keeps running, and that an attacker can trigger a panic; the source does not establish how feasible that is. Upgrade to block_buffer 0.12.1, which is the fixed version.
