----------------------------------
Summary: [Rust] There is no check for allocation failure
Key: ARROW-8480
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8480
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Rust
Reporter: Paddy Horan
Reported by bluss on Github:
[https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray/issues/771]
"What I can see, there is no check for allocation success, so any buffer can be
created with a null pointer, which leads to soundness problems in most methods.
Best look into using {{std::alloc::handle_alloc_error}} or alternatives. (This
problem means that the mutablebuffer is not a safe abstraction, and it should
preferably not be exposed as public API like this.)"
