SignedImmutablesImmutable variables of signed integer type shorter than 256 bits can lead to values with invalid higher order bits if inline assembly is used. | When immutable variables of signed integer type shorter than 256 bits are read, their higher order bits were unconditionally set to zero. The correct operation would be to sign-extend the value, i.e. set the higher order bits to one if the sign bit is one. This sign-extension is performed by Solidity just prior to when it matters, i.e. when a value is stored in memory, when it is compared or when a division is performed. Because of that, to our knowledge, the only way to access the value in its unclean state is by reading it through inline assembly. - Link: https://blog.soliditylang.org/2021/09/29/signed-immutables-bug/ - First Introduced: 0.6.5 - Fixed in Version: 0.8.9 - Published: - Severity<: very low | very low |
