The value in
expected_len
is read from an incoming networking packet. The networking packet is invalid ifexpected_len < 16
, however it is unwise to doexpected_len - 16
as a malicious peer might send an invalid value on purpose.Rust only detects underflow errors in debug mode. However, in release mode this will lead to a very high value being passed to
resize
, which will lead to an allocation error.This bug is technically a vulnerability, as anyone can crash a smoldot light client if it connects to their node. However, since we're not widely used at the moment and that an attacker has nothing to gain except being a nuisance, I'm going to assume that nobody is going to exploit this and skip the non-disclosure period.
