Summary

Incorrect is_static parameter for custom stateful precompiles in SputnikVM (evm)

Details

Impact

A custom stateful precompile can use the is_static parameter to determine if the call is executed in a static context (via STATICCALL), and thus decide if stateful operations should be done. Previously, the passed is_static parameter was incorrect -- it was only set to true if the call comes from a direct STATICCALL opcode. However, once a static call context is entered, it should stay static.

The issue only impacts custom precompiles that actually uses is_static. The maintainers estimate the usage is low. However, for those affected, it can lead to possible incorrect state transitions.

Patches

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-10-25 00:00 – Updated: 2025-04-23 16:43

Title

evm has incorrect is_static parameter for custom stateful precompiles

Summary

SputnikVM, also called evm, is a Rust implementation of Ethereum Virtual Machine. A custom stateful precompile can use the `is_static` parameter to determine if the call is executed in a static context (via `STATICCALL`), and thus decide if stateful operations should be done. Prior to version 0.36.0, the passed `is_static` parameter was incorrect -- it was only set to `true` if the call came from a direct `STATICCALL` opcode. However, once a static call context is entered, it should stay static. The issue only impacts custom precompiles that actually uses `is_static`. For those affected, the issue can lead to possible incorrect state transitions. Version 0.36.0 contains a patch. There are no known workarounds.

Vulnerability from osv_rustsec – Published: 2022-10-25 12:00 – Updated: 2023-02-02 11:20 – Source website

Summary

evm incorrect state transition

Details

SputnikVM, also called evm, is a Rust implementation of Ethereum Virtual Machine.

A custom stateful precompile can use the is_static parameter to determine if the call is executed in a static context (via STATICCALL), and thus decide if stateful operations should be done.

Prior to version 0.36.0, the passed is_static parameter was incorrect -- it was only set to true if the call came from a direct STATICCALL opcode.

However, once a static call context is entered, it should stay static. The issue only impacts custom precompiles that actually uses is_static.

For those affected, the issue can lead to possible incorrect state transitions.
