Details
GHSA-9856-9gg9-qcmq
moderate severity
Vulnerable versions: >= 1.10.0, < 1.10.8
Patched version: 1.10.8

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

Description
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.

All Geth versions supporting the London hard fork are vulnerable (which predates London), so all users should update.

This bug was exploited on Mainnet at block 13107518, leading to a minority chain split.

Patches
A patch is included in the v1.10.8 release.
The exact patch to fix the issue is contained within this commit

Workarounds
No workarounds exist, save to update and/or apply the patch commit.
