summary: Shallow copy bug in geth in github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
description: |-
### Impact This is a Consensus vulnerability, which can be used to cause a
chain-split where vulnerable nodes reject the canonical chain.
Geth’s pre-compiled `dataCopy` (at `0x00...04`) contract did a shallow copy on
invocation. An attacker could deploy a contract that
- writes `X` to an EVM memory region `R`,
- calls `0x00..04` with `R` as an argument,
- overwrites `R` to `Y`,
- and finally invokes the `RETURNDATACOPY` opcode.
When this contract is invoked, a consensus-compliant node would push `X` on the
EVM stack, whereas Geth would push `Y`.
