Reth team ships emergency patch for state root calculation bug
AI summary of the linked articleReth and OP Reth released patches fixing a bug in the legacy state root code that could produce incorrect state roots. The article says the bug was found through the Tempo team's fuzzing process and that Tempo is also patched. Users are asked to update to Reth v2.10.0, OP Reth v2.8.1, and Base v1.5.3. The article states that for certain smart contract storage layouts, a crafted transaction could trigger the wrong state root, and that the block builder's use of this code on lower-end hardware and OP Stack chains left those setups exposed. It also says L2s such as Base and OP Stack chains are unaffected, since the bug could not impact their withdrawals system, and that ecosystem bridges are unaffected because they use receipt roots or multisignatures. |
