GHSA-q8x8-jrhj-fh9p: Diesel: Possible unaligned data access for implementations of `SqliteAggregate`
Diesel allows to register custom aggregate SQL functions for SQLite via the SqliteAggregate interface.
To store an instance of the custom aggregate processor Diesel relied on the sqlite3_aggregate_context function provided by sqlite. This function doesn’t provide any guarantees about alignment of the returned allocation, which in turn can lead to problems if the type implementing requires a special alignment, e.g. via a custom #[align(x)] attribute on the type implementing this trait. This affects any user of SqliteAggregate that registers the custom aggregate function with an SQLite connection, while using a non-standard alignment on the type implementing this trait.
