Earlier, the Curve Finance hackers stated in the transaction memo for returning funds to Alchemix Finance: “I’ve seen some ridiculous views, so I want to clarify that I’m returning the funds not because you can find me, but because I don’t want to ruin your project.

Ethereum compiler Vyper releases vulnerability incident analysis report, the vulnerability has been fixed and tested in v0.3.1.

Ethereum compiler Vyper has released an analysis report on the vulnerability incident last week: on July 30th, multiple Curve liquidity pools were exploited due to a potential vulnerability in the Vyper compiler. Although the error has been identified and patched, the impact on protocols using the vulnerable compiler was not recognized at the time and they were not explicitly notified. The vulnerability itself was an improperly implemented reentrancy protection, and the affected Vyper versions are v0.2.15, v0.2.16, and v0.3.0.

The vulnerability has been fixed and tested in v0.3.1, and v0.3.1 and higher versions are secure. Measures will be taken in the future to improve the correctness of smart contracts compiled with Vyper. Firstly, improve the testing of the compiler, including continuing to improve coverage, comparing the compiler output with the language specification, and using formal verification (FV) tools to verify the compiler bytecode. Secondly, provide developers with tools to test their code more easily using multiple approaches, including source code and bytecode level testing. Thirdly, strengthen stricter two-way feedback for using the Vyper protocol.
