| summary: Shallow copy bug in geth |
| 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`. |
