What is GHSA-5J8W-R7G8-5472?

GHSA-5J8W-R7G8-5472 is a high-severity security vulnerability in arrow2 (rust), affecting versions < 0.7.1. It is fixed in 0.7.1, 0.8.2, 0.9.2.

Which versions of arrow2 are affected by GHSA-5J8W-R7G8-5472?

arrow2 (rust) versions < 0.7.1 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-5J8W-R7G8-5472?

Yes. GHSA-5J8W-R7G8-5472 is fixed in 0.7.1, 0.8.2, 0.9.2. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is GHSA-5J8W-R7G8-5472 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-5J8W-R7G8-5472 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether GHSA-5J8W-R7G8-5472 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

Arrow2 allows double free in safe code

The struct Ffi_ArrowArray implements #derive(Clone) that is inconsistent with
its custom implementation of Drop, resulting in a double free when cloned.

Cloning this struct in safe results in a segmentation fault, which is unsound.

This derive was removed from this struct. All users are advised to either:

bump the patch version of this crate (for versions v0.7,v0.8,v0.9), or
migrate to a more recent version of the crate (when using <0.7).

Doing so elimitates this vulnerability (code no longer compiles).

Impact

Affected versions

arrow2 (< 0.7.1) arrow2 (>= 0.8.0, < 0.8.2) arrow2 (>= 0.9.0, < 0.9.2)

Security releases

arrow2 → 0.7.1 (rust) arrow2 → 0.8.2 (rust) arrow2 → 0.9.2 (rust)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
