SCA: security update for vyper (GHSA-gp3w-2v2m-p686)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421495
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Vyper is a Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. When calls to external
contracts are made, we write the input buffer starting at byte 28, and allocate the return buffer to start
at byte 0 (overlapping with the input buffer). When checking RETURNDATASIZE for dynamic types, the size is
compared only to the minimum allowed size for that type, and not to the returned value's length. As a
result, malformed return data can cause the contract to mistake data from the input buffer for returndata.
When the called contract returns invalid ABIv2 encoded data, the calling contract can read different
invalid data (from the dirty buffer) than the called contract returned. (CVE-2024-24560)
