vyper performs double eval of the slice args when buffer from adhoc locations

CVE-2024-32646

Description

Vyper is a pythonic Smart Contract Language for the Ethereum virtual machine. In versions 0.3.10 and prior, using the slice builtin can result in a double eval vulnerability when the buffer argument is either msg.data, self.code or .code and either the start or length arguments have side-effects. It can be easily triggered only with the versions <0.3.4 as 0.3.4 introduced the unique symbol fence. No vulnerable production contracts were found. Additionally, double evaluation of side-effects should be easily discoverable in client tests. As such, the impact is low. As of time of publication, no fixed versions are available.
