GHSA-c2hm-mjxv-89r4: Multiple soundness issues in lexical

(updated )

lexical contains multiple soundness issues:

  1. Bytes::read() allows creating instances of types with invalid bit patterns
  2. BytesIter::read() advances iterators out of bounds
  3. The BytesIter trait has safety invariants but is public and not marked unsafe
  4. write_float() calls MaybeUninit::assume_init() on uninitialized data, which is is not allowed by the Rust abstract machine
  5. radix() calls MaybeUninit::assume_init() on uninitialized data, which is is not allowed by the Rust abstract machine

The crate also has some correctness issues.
