GHSA-C2HM-MJXV-89R4 Multiple soundness issues in lexical

lexical contains multiple soundness issues: 1. Bytes::read allows creating instances of types with invalid bit patterns 1. BytesIter::read advances iterators out of bounds 1. The BytesIter trait has safety invariants but is public and not marked unsafe 1. writefloat calls MaybeUninit::assumeinit ...

Design/Logic Flaw

Frontier is an Ethereum compatibility layer for Substrate. Frontier's modexp precompile uses num-bigint crate under the hood. In the implementation prior to pull request 1017, the cases for modulus being even and modulus being odd are treated separately. Odd modulus uses the fast Montgomery...

CVE-2023-28431

CVE-2023-28431 describes a vulnerability in Frontier’s modexp precompile used by Substrate. The implementation treats even and odd moduli differently: odd moduli use Montgomery multiplication, while even moduli fall back to a slower plain power algorithm. This mismatch caused a gas-cost discrepan...

GHSA-V935-PQMR-G8V9 Unexpected panics in num-bigint

Impact Two scenarios were reported where BigInt and BigUint multiplication may unexpectedly panic. - The internal mac3 function did not expect the possibility of non-empty all-zero inputs, leading to an unwrap panic. - A buffer was allocated with less capacity than needed for an intermediate...
