CVE-2019-16142: Improper Input Validation in renderdoc

August 25, 2021 (updated June 13, 2023)

Affected versions of this crate exposed several methods which took self by immutable reference, despite the requesting the RenderDoc API to set a mutable value internally. This is technically unsound and calling these methods from multiple threads without synchronization could lead to unexpected and unpredictable behavior. The flaw was corrected in release 0.5.0.
