Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from the improper Send trait implementation for Demuxer<T> that lacked necessary type bounds. The advisory explicitly states this was fixed by adding T: Send bound. The unsafe Send implementation is the direct cause as it violates Rust's thread safety guarantees by permitting non-Send types to move between threads, leading to synchronization issues and memory corruption.
