GHSA-JM5C-RV3W-W83M
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-06-29 21:13 – Updated: 2025-01-30 14:38Impact
Denial-of-service (crash) during block processing
Details
Affected versions suffer from a vulnerability which can be exploited through the MULMOD operation, by specifying a modulo of 0: mulmod(a,b,0), causing a panic in the underlying library.
The crash was in the uint256 library, where a buffer underflowed.
if `d == 0`, `dLen` remains `0`
and https://github.com/holiman/uint256/blob/4ce82e695c10ddad57215bdbeafb68b8c5df2c30/uint256.go#L451 will try to access index [-1].
The uint256 library was first merged in this commit, on 2020-06-08.
Exploiting this vulnerabilty would cause all vulnerable nodes to drop off the network.
The issue was brought to our attention through a bug report, showing a panic occurring on sync from genesis on the Ropsten network.
It was estimated that the least obvious way to fix this would be to merge the fix into uint256, make a new release of that library and then update the geth-dependency.
- https://github.com/holiman/uint256/releases/tag/v1.1.1 was made the same day,
- PR to address the issue: https://github.com/holiman/uint256/pull/80
- PR to update geth deps: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/21368

Mitigation MIT-5
Strategy: Input Validation
- Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
- When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
- Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
- To reduce the likelihood of introducing an out-of-bounds read, ensure that you validate and ensure correct calculations for any length argument, buffer size calculation, or offset. Be especially careful of relying on a sentinel (i.e. special character such as NUL) in untrusted inputs.
Mitigation
Strategy: Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.
CAPEC-540: Overread Buffers
An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
