DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in gix-date. The gix_date::parse::TimeBuf::as_str function can generate strings containing invalid non-UTF8 characters. This issue violates the internal safety invariants of the TimeBuf component, leading to undefined behavior when these malformed strings are subsequently processed. This could potentially result in application instability or other unforeseen consequences.

AnalysisAI
