Advisories for Cargo/Triton-Vm package

The instruction sponge_absorb_mem Triton VM fails to verify that hashed values come from the claimed memory location. Malicious provers can substitute arbitrary data instead of actual memory contents. Any application using instruction sponge_absorb_mem to hash memory data can be given a proof for a forged hash that doesn't correspond to the actual memory. This breaks the security of memory-based commitments. The flaw was corrected in commits 17c7ba0a and ef9d9e72 by …

In affected versions of Triton VM, the verifier failed to correctly sample randomness in the FRI sub-protocol. Malicious provers can exploit this to craft proofs for arbitrary statements that this verifier accepts as valid, undermining soundness. Protocols that rely on proofs and the supplied verifier of the affected versions of Triton VM are completely broken. Protocols implementing their own verifier might be unaffected. The flaw was corrected in commit 3a045d63, …
