Impact
in the following code, the return of <iface>.returns_int128() is not validated to fall within the bounds of int128. as of v0.3.0, <iface>.returns_int128() is validated in simple expressions, but not complex expressions.
interface iface:
def returns_int128() -> int128: view
def returns_Bytes33() -> Bytes[33]: view
x: iface
@external
def call_out():
x: int128 = self.x.returns_int128() # affected, <0.3.0
y: uint256 = convert(self.x.returns_int128(), uint256) # affected, <0.3.2
z: Bytes[33] = concat(self.x.returns_Bytes33(), b"") # affected >= 0.3.0, <0.3.2
Patches
0.3.2 (as of https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/commit/049dbdc647b2ce838fae7c188e6bb09cf16e470b)
Workarounds
Break up operations involving external calls into multiple statements. For instance, instead of the example above, use
x: int128 = self.x.returns_int128()
y: uint256 = convert(x, uint256)
