    Summary: Flaw in generativity allows out-of-bounds access

    Details: Affected versions of this crate did not properly implement the generativity, because the invariant lifetimes were not necessarily `drop`ped. This allows an attacker to mix up two arenas, using indices created from one arena with another one. This might lead to an out-of-bounds read or write access into the memory reserved for the arena. The flaw was corrected by implementing generativity correctly in version 0.4.0.
