CVE-2024-32649: vyper performs multiple eval of `sqrt()` argument built in

April 25, 2024 (updated January 21, 2025)

Using the sqrt builtin can result in multiple eval evaluation of side effects when the argument has side-effects. The bug is more difficult (but not impossible!) to trigger as of 0.3.4, when the unique symbol fence was introduced (https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/pull/2914).

A contract search was performed and no vulnerable contracts were found in production.
