CVE-2021-48020— Vyper before 0.3.0 Memory Corruption via Internal Function Calls in Arrays

Quick assessment

Affected
vyperlang vyper
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Vyper 0.1.0b4 至 0.3.0（不含）版本中存在一个内存破坏漏洞。该漏洞源于在数组内部执行内部函数调用时，栈顶指针（stack tip pointer）设置不正确。若合约在嵌套数组元素、外部调用参数、结构体字面量或 raw_log 主题中放置内部调用，可能导致内存被破坏，从而引发合约行为异常。

Vulnerability Title
Vyper before 0.3.0 Memory Corruption via Internal Function Calls in Arrays
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Vyper from 0.1.0b4 before 0.3.0 contains a memory corruption vulnerability caused by an incorrect stack tip pointer when internal function calls are performed inside arrays. Contracts placing internal calls in nested array elements, external call arguments, struct literals, or raw_log topics can have memory corrupted, producing incorrect contract behavior.
