KeccakCachingThe bytecode optimizer incorrectly re-used previously evaluated Keccak-256 hashes. You are unlikely to be affected if you do not compute Keccak-256 hashes in inline assembly. | Solidity's bytecode optimizer has a step that can compute Keccak-256 hashes, if the contents of the memory are known during compilation time. This step also has a mechanism to determine that two Keccak-256 hashes are equal even if the values in memory are not known during compile time. This mechanism had a bug where Keccak-256 of the same memory content, but different sizes were considered equal. More specifically, ``keccak256(mpos1, length1)`` and ``keccak256(mpos2, length2)`` in some cases were considered equal if ``length1`` and ``length2``, when rounded up to nearest multiple of 32 were the same, and when the memory contents at ``mpos1`` and ``mpos2`` can be deduced to be equal. You maybe affected if you compute multiple Keccak-256 hashes of the same content, but with different lengths inside inline assembly. You are unaffected if your code uses ``keccak256`` with a length that is not a compile-time constant or if it is always a multiple of 32. - Link: https://blog.soliditylang.org/2021/03/23/keccak-optimizer-bug/ - First Introduced: - Fixed in Version: 0.8.3 - Published: - Severity<: medium - Optimizer Used: true | medium |
