"name": "DynamicArrayCleanup",
"summary": "When assigning a dynamically-sized array with types of size at most 16 bytes in storage causing the assigned array to shrink, some parts of deleted slots were not zeroed out.",
"description": "Consider a dynamically-sized array in storage whose base-type is small enough such that multiple values can be packed into a single slot, such as `uint128[]`. Let us define its length to be `l`. When this array gets assigned from another array with a smaller length, say `m`, the slots between elements `m` and `l` have to be cleaned by zeroing them out. However, this cleaning was not performed properly. Specifically, after the slot corresponding to `m`, only the first packed value was cleaned up. If this array gets resized to a length larger than `m`, the indices corresponding to the unclean parts of the slot contained the original value, instead of 0. The resizing here is performed by assigning to the array `length`, by a `push()` or via inline assembly. You are not affected if you are only using `.push(<arg>)` or if you assign a value (even zero) to the new elements after increasing the length of the array.",

"description": "In contrast to functions defined inside contracts, free functions with identical names and parameter types did not create an error. Both definition of free functions with identical name and parameter types and an imported free function with an alias that shadows another function with a different name but identical parameter types were permitted due to which a call to either the multiply defined free function or the imported free function alias within a contract led to the execution of that free function which was defined first within the source unit. Subsequently defined identical free function definitions were silently ignored and their code generation was skipped.",

2020-06-11 10:57:53 +00:00
"description": "Function calls to internal library functions using the ``using for`` mechanism copied all calldata parameters to memory first and passed them on like that, regardless of whether it was an internal or an external call. Due to that, the called function would receive a memory pointer that is interpreted as a calldata pointer. Since dynamically sized arrays are passed using two stack slots for calldata, but only one for memory, this can lead to stack corruption. An affected library call will consider the JUMPDEST to which it is supposed to return as part of its arguments and will instead jump out to whatever was on the stack before the call.",

However, this check was missing in case no explicit constructor was defined in a contract at all, but the contract has a base that does define a constructor.

In cases for which the memory size of an array in bytes, i.e. the array length times 32, is larger than 2^256-1, the memory allocation will overflow, potentially resulting in overlapping memory areas.

"name": "LibrariesNotCallableFromPayableFunctions",
"summary": "Library functions threw an exception when called from a call that received Ether.",
"description": "Library functions are protected against sending them Ether through a call. Since the DELEGATECALL opcode forwards the information about how much Ether was sent with a call, the library function incorrectly assumed that Ether was sent to the library and threw an exception.",

"fixed": "0.4.2"
},
{
"name": "SendFailsForZeroEther",
"summary": "The send function did not provide enough gas to the recipient if no Ether was sent with it.",
"description": "The recipient of an Ether transfer automatically receives a certain amount of gas from the EVM to handle the transfer. In the case of a zero-transfer, this gas is not provided which causes the recipient to throw an exception.",
"severity": "low",
"fixed": "0.4.0"
},
{
"name": "DynamicAllocationInfiniteLoop",
"summary": "Dynamic allocation of an empty memory array caused an infinite loop and thus an exception.",
"description": "Memory arrays can be created provided a length. If this length is zero, code was generated that did not terminate and thus consumed all gas.",

"summary": "The optimizer did not properly reset its internal state at jump destinations, which could lead to data corruption.",
"description": "The optimizer performs symbolic execution at certain stages. At jump destinations, multiple code paths join and thus it has to compute a common state from the incoming edges. Computing this common state was not done correctly. This bug can cause data corruption, but it is probably quite hard to use for targeted attacks.",

{
"name": "CleanBytesHigherOrderBits",
"summary": "The higher order bits of short bytesNN types were not cleaned before comparison.",
"description": "Two variables of type bytesNN were considered different if their higher order bits, which are not part of the actual value, were different. An attacker might use this to reach seemingly unreachable code paths by providing incorrectly formatted input data.",
"severity": "medium/high",
"fixed": "0.3.3"
},
{
"name": "ArrayAccessCleanHigherOrderBits",
"summary": "Access to array elements for arrays of types with less than 32 bytes did not correctly clean the higher order bits, causing corruption in other array elements.",
"description": "Multiple elements of an array of values that are shorter than 17 bytes are packed into the same storage slot. Writing to a single element of such an array did not properly clean the higher order bytes and thus could lead to data corruption.",
"severity": "medium/high",
"fixed": "0.3.1"
},
{
"name": "AncientCompiler",
"summary": "This compiler version is ancient and might contain several undocumented or undiscovered bugs.",
"description": "The list of bugs is only kept for compiler versions starting from 0.3.0, so older versions might contain undocumented bugs.",
