Blockaid: Reth Client Vulnerability May Cause Nodes to Compute Incorrect State Roots

on November 6, according to Blockaid, vulnerabilities exist in the Reth execution client and op-reth and other clients built on it, which may cause nodes for some blocks to compute incorrect state roots.

Blockaid stated that this is a correctness vulnerability, not an attack, and there are currently no known fund losses. Previously, TechFlow reported that Gauntlet has restricted V1 Vault deposits and paused asset allocation on several OP Stack chains due to the reported op-reth vulnerability.
