Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

An issue was discovered in the spin crate before 0.5.2 for Rust, when RwLock is used. Because memory ordering is mishandled, two writers can acquire the lock at the same time, violating mutual exclusion.
