  "details": "`SkipList::clear` drops the node chain and only then resets `tail` and `len`.\nThe drop runs each element's `Drop`, and `T` carries no bounds excluding a\npanicking one. If it unwinds, `tail` still points at the freed node while `len`\nstays non-zero.\n\n`back()`, `back_mut()`, `last_key_value()` and `last()` dereference `tail`\nthrough `unsafe`, so reading the container after the unwind is a use-after-free\n(CWE-416). `Drop for SkipList` calls `Box::from_raw` on `self.head`, which\n`clear` already destroyed, so dropping the container is a double free\n(CWE-415).\n\n`retain`, `retain_mut` and `dedup_by` reach the same state through\n`Node::filter_rebuild`, which frees nodes and runs a user predicate before the\ncaller commits `tail` and `len`. There the head links are left partially\nrewired, so traversal can also reach freed nodes.\n\n## Mitigation\n\nUpdate to 1.1.1.",
