Will there be a fix for 0.12.x and 0.13.x branches? Asking because of chatmail/core#7692 |

Due to security vulnerability ``` ID: RUSTSEC-2026-0002 Advisory: https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2026-0002 Affected versions of this crate contain a soundness issue in the `IterMut` iterator implementation. The `IterMut::next` and `IterMut::next_back` methods temporarily create an exclusive reference to the key when dereferencing the internal node pointer. This invalidates the shared pointer held by the internal `HashMap`, violating Stacked Borrows rules. Announcement: jeromefroe/lru-rs#224 ```

This fixes a Stacked Borrows violation in
IterMut. The issue was thatIterMut::nextandIterMut::next_backtemporarily create an exclusive reference to the key. This invalidates the pointer held withinKeyWrapperby theHashMap, but the HashMap still holds and accesses it on subsequent reads or writes to the LRU, which is unsound.The implementation silently coerces the esclusive reference into a shared reference, but this does not undo the effect of the exclusive reference.
This can be seen by running miri on the test that I've added in the second commit without the fix in the first commit.
The solution is to use shared references throughout, rather than first requesting an exclusive reference and then converting it into a shared reference.
