Severity ?
6.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
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
