High (8.8) in xcb project xcb. EPSS 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in xcb 1.0.0.
An issue was discovered in the xcb crate through 2021-02-04 for Rust. It has a soundness violation because transmutation to the wrong type can happen after xcb::base::cast_event uses std::mem::transmute to return a reference to an arbitrary type.
