Description TEJ RATHI 2026-11-03 07:39:24 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Vyper before 0.2.9 deploys forwarder proxies through the built-in create_forwarder_to function that report a fixed 4096-byte RETURNDATASIZE rather than the actual return data size. Calls through these proxies can yield corrupted data when a function returns more than 4096 bytes without return data sanitation, and fail strict return-size checks such as SafeERC20.safeTransfer.

Comment 1 Peter Lemenkov 2026-11-03 07:42:54 UTC
This was fixed upstream in vyper 0.2.9 (GHSA-375m-5fvv-xq23 / VVE-2021-0002, published 2021-04-16).

All Fedora releases ship vyper 0.4.3, which already contains the fix and is not affected.
