Memory over-allocation in evm crate
CVE-2021-29511
6.5MEDIUM
What is CVE-2021-29511?
evm is a pure Rust implementation of Ethereum Virtual Machine. Prior to the patch, when executing specific EVM opcodes related to memory operations that use evm_core::Memory::copy_large, the evm crate can over-allocate memory when it is not needed, making it possible for an attacker to perform denial-of-service attack. 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. There are no workarounds. Please upgrade your evm crate version.
Affected Version(s)
evm < 0.21.1 < 0.21.1
evm = 0.22.0 = 0.22.0
evm = 0.23.0 = 0.23.0
