x/vulndb: potential Go vuln in github.com/crossbeam-rs/crossbeam: CVE-2020-15254

[tatianab]

CVE-2020-15254 references github.com/crossbeam-rs/crossbeam, which may be a Go module.

Description:
Crossbeam is a set of tools for concurrent programming. In crossbeam-channel before version 0.4.4, the bounded channel incorrectly assumes that Vec::from_iter has allocated capacity that same as the number of iterator elements. Vec::from_iter does not actually guarantee that and may allocate extra memory. The destructor of the bounded channel reconstructs Vec from the raw pointer based on the incorrect assumes described above. This is unsound and causing deallocation with the incorrect capacity when Vec::from_iter has allocated different sizes with the number of iterator elements. This has been fixed in crossbeam-channel 0.4.4.
