Network Low None None Unchanged None None High

Geth (aka go-ethereum) through 1.13.4, when --http --graphql is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and daemon hang) via a crafted GraphQL query.

NOTE: the vendor's position is that the "graphql endpoint [is not] designed to withstand attacks by hostile clients, nor handle huge amounts of clients/traffic.

Consensus flaw during block processing in github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum

A vulnerability in the Geth EVM can cause a node to reject the canonical chain.

A memory-corruption bug within the EVM can cause a consensus error, where vulnerable nodes obtain a different stateRoot when processing a maliciously crafted transaction. This, in turn, would lead to the chain being split in two forks.

A design flaw in Go-Ethereum 1.10.12 and older versions allows an attacker node to send 5120 future transactions with a high gas price in one message, which can purge all of pending transactions in a victim node's memory pool, causing a denial of service (DoS).

A design flaw in all versions of Go-Ethereum allows an attacker node to send 5120 pending transactions of a high gas price from one account that all fully spend the full balance of the account to a victim Geth node, which can purge all of pending transactions in a victim node's memory pool and then occupy the memory pool to prevent new transactions from entering the pool, resulting in a denial of service (DoS).

Impact

A DoS vulnerability can make a LES server crash via malicious GetProofsV2 request from a connected LES client.

Patches

The vulnerability was patched in https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/21896.

Workarounds

This vulnerability only concerns users explicitly enabling les server; disabling les prevents the exploit. It can also be patched by manually applying the patch in https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/21896.

Denial of service in geth

6.5 / 10

Medium

Network Low Low None Unchanged None None High

Impact

Denial-of-service (crash) during block processing

Details

Affected versions suffer from a vulnerability which can be exploited through the MULMOD operation, by specifying a modulo of 0: mulmod(a,b,0), causing a panic in the underlying library. The crash was in the uint256 library, where a buffer underflowed.

if `d == 0`, `dLen` remains `0`

and https://github.com/holiman/uint256/blob/4ce82e695c10ddad57215bdbeafb68b8c5df2c30/uint256.go#L451 will try to access index [-1].

The uint256 library was first merged in this commit, on 2020-06-08. Exploiting this vulnerabilty would cause all vulnerable nodes to drop off the network.

The issue was brought to our attention through a bug report, showing a panic occurring on sync from genesis on the Ropsten network.

It was estimated that the least obvious way to fix this would be to merge the fix into uint256, make a new release of that library and then update the geth-dependency.

https://github.com/holiman/uint256/releases/tag/v1.1.1 was made the same day,
PR to address the issue: https://github.com/holiman/uint256/pull/80
