There is a difference in the bug reports: The ureq one shows a proven error - a crash. That's bad, the author acknowledges it and fixes it.

The actix issue does not show an actual error. It just tells that some internal code does not follow the usual Rust unsafe conventions, and that this might lead to a bug. It takes then some API exploitation by a third person to demonstrate how this could lead to a bug. At that point the author acknowledges the issue, even though any real world implication is still unknown.
