How to fix?

Upgrade vyper to version 0.3.2 or higher.

Overview

vyper is a Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the EVM.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow by importing a function from a JSON interface which returns bytes and generates bytecode which does not clamp bytes length, potentially resulting in a buffer overrun.

Workaround

Use .vy interfaces.
