Description

Vyper is a Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Contracts containing large arrays might underallocate the number of slots they need by 1. Prior to v0.3.8, the calculation to determine how many slots a storage variable needed used math.ceil(type_.size_in_bytes / 32). The intermediate floating point step can produce a rounding error if there are enough bits set in the IEEE-754 mantissa. Roughly speaking, if type_.size_in_bytes is large (> 2**46), and slightly less than a power of 2, the calculation can overestimate how many slots are needed by 1. If type_.size_in_bytes is slightly more than a power of 2, the calculation can underestimate how many slots are needed by 1. This issue is patched in version 0.3.8.
