CVE-2018-16733
7.5HIGH
What is CVE-2018-16733?
In Go Ethereum (also known as geth), the TraceChain function in the eth/api_tracer.go file fails to confirm that the end block occurs after the start block. This oversight can lead to improper input validation, allowing for potential exploitation in blockchain applications tied to the improperly verified traces.
