ASA-2024-010: cosmossdk.io/math: Mismatched bit-length validation in sdk.Int and sdk.Dec can lead to panic

8.7 HighFix available

Name: ASA-2024-010: Mismatched bit-length in sdk.Int and sdk.Dec can lead to panic Component: Cosmos SDK / Math Criticality: High (Considerable Impact, and Possible Likelihood per ACMv1.2) Affected versions: cosmossdk.io/math package versions <= math/v1.3.0 Affected users: Chain Builders + Maintainers, Validators

Impact

The bit-length in sdk.Int and sdk.Dec are not aligned, which may present a possible panic condition when interacting with Dec types in an Int context. This issue was resolved by aligning the max size between the data types in the cosmossdk.io/math package.

This issue impacts consumers of the cosmossdk.io/math, which includes popular modules including IBC-Go and tokenfactory (permissionless). If your chain interacts with APIs in the cosmossdk.io/math package, or utilizes a module that consumes this library, it is advised to update to the latest version at the time of the patch release by updating your project's go.mod dependency for cosmossdk.io/math.

The patch can be applied without a hard-fork, and with a version bump in a chain's go.mod file like the following:

go.mod

- cosmossdk.io/math v1.3.0
+ cosmossdk.io/math v1.4.0

[!NOTE]
When on a lower version than cosmossdk.io/math v1.3.0, please do a coordinated upgrade before upgrading to >= 1.3.0

Patches

The new release of cosmossdk.io/math v1.4.0 resolves this issue. Chains that utilize the cosmossdk.io/math library or modules that utilize the cosmossdk.io/math library should update to avoid this condition.
