Specification non-compliance in JUMPI

Published: 10/19/2021Modified: 5/4/2026
Also known as:GHSA-pvh2-pj76-4m96

Description

### Impact In `evm` crate `< 0.31.0`, `JUMPI` opcode's condition is checked after the destination validity check. However, according to Geth and OpenEthereum, the condition check should happen before the destination validity check. ### Patches This is a **high** severity security advisory if you use `evm` crate for Ethereum mainnet. In this case, you should update your library dependency immediately to on or after `0.31.0`. This is a **low** severity security advisory if you use `evm` crate in Frontier or in a standalone blockchain, because there's no security exploit possible with this advisory. It is **not** recommended to update to on or after `0.31.0` until all the normal chain upgrade preparations have been done. If you use Frontier or other `pallet-evm` based Substrate blockchain, please ensure to update your `spec_version` before updating this. For other blockchains, please make sure to follow a hard-fork process before you update this. ### Workarounds If you are dependent on an older version of `evm` and cannot update due to API interface changes, please contact Wei by email ([email protected]), who will be happy to help you to publish patch releases for older `evm` versions. ### References Fix PR: https://github.com/rust-blockchain/evm/pull/67 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in the `evm` repo. ### Special thanks Special thanks to @rakita for reporting this issue.
