Unsoundness in Error::downcast_mut()

RUSTSEC-2026-0190

More information

Details

Affected versions of this crate violate borrow rules, resulting in undefined behavior, when the user adds context to an error via Error::context and then later calls Error::downcast_mut on the returned Error.

The flaw was corrected in commit 6e8c000 by revising how the mutable reference is constructed, avoiding inclusion of a shared reference in the resulting borrow chain.

Example
use anyhow::Error;
use std::fmt;

#[derive(Debug)]
struct ErrorContext(&'static str);

impl fmt::Display for ErrorContext {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt::Display::fmt(&self.0, f)
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut error = Error::msg("inner error").context(ErrorContext("old context"));
    let context: &mut ErrorContext = error.downcast_mut().unwrap();
    context.0 = "new context";
    println!("{:?}", error);
}
Miri output
error: Undefined Behavior: trying to retag from <1538> for Unique permission at alloc602[0x38], but that tag only grants SharedReadOnly permission for this location

    = help: this indicates a potential bug in the program: it performed an invalid operation, but the Stacked Borrows rules it violated are still experimental
