Em resumo
- CVE-2020-26241 é uma vulnerabilidade ALTO (CVSS 7.1) que afeta github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum, go ethereum (ethereum).
- Chance de exploração nos próximos 30 dias (EPSS): 1.2%, maior que 68.8% das vulnerabilidades.
- Correção: atualize para 1.9.17 ou posterior.
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.
Patches
No standalone patches have been made.
Workarounds
Upgrade to 1.9.17 or higher.

NVD description
Go Ethereum, or "Geth", is the official Golang implementation of the Ethereum protocol. This is a Consensus vulnerability in Geth before version 1.9.17 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, then calls 0x00..04 with R as an argument, then 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. This is fixed in version 1.9.17.
