Fix supertrait associated type unsoundness ### What? Object safety allows us to name `Self::Assoc` associated types in certain positions if they come from our trait or one of our supertraits. When this check was implemented, I think it failed to consider that supertraits can have different args, and it was only checking def-id equality. This is problematic, since we can sneak different implementations in by implementing `Supertrait<NotActuallyTheSupertraitSubsts>` for a `dyn` type. This can be used to implement an unsound transmute function. See the committed test. ### How do we fix it? We consider the whole trait ref when checking for supertraits. Right now, this is implemented using equality *without* normalization. We erase regions since those don't affect trait selection. This is a limitation that could theoretically affect code that should be accepted, but doesn't matter in practice -- there are 0 crater regression. We could make this check stronger, but I would be worried about cycle issues. I assume that most people are writing `Self::Assoc` so they don't really care about the trait ref being normalized. --- ### What is up w the stacked commit This is built on top of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/122804 though that's really not related, it's just easier to make this modification with the changes to the object safety code that I did in that PR. The only thing is that PR may make this unsoundness slightly easier to abuse, since there are more positions that allow self-associated-types -- I am happy to stall that change until this PR merges. --- Fixes #126079 r? lcnr |
