Summary
Out-of-bounds memory access in binary_read_to_ref and binary_write_from_ref
Details

Safe functions accept a single &T or &mut T but multiply by n to create slices extending beyond allocated memory when n > 1.

These functions use from_raw_parts to create slices larger than the underlying allocation, violating memory safety.

The binary_vec_io repository is archived and unmaintained.
