Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-01-30 23:55 – Updated: 2024-01-30 23:55
VLAI
Summary
Memory over-allocation in evm crate
Details

Impact

Prior to the patch, when executing specific EVM opcodes related to memory operations that use evm_core::Memory::copy_large, the crate can over-allocate memory when it is not needed, making it possible for an attacker to perform denial-of-service attack.

Patches

The flaw was corrected in commit 19ade85. Users should upgrade to ==0.21.1, ==0.23.1, ==0.24.1, ==0.25.1, >=0.26.1.

Workarounds

None. Please upgrade your evm crate version
