GHSA-3w94-vq2x-v5wr: ethereum does not check transaction malleability for EIP-2930, EIP-1559 and EIP-7702 transactions
Prior to ethereum
crate v0.18.0, signature malleability (according to EIP-2) was only checked for “legacy” transactions, but not for EIP-2930, EIP-1559 and EIP-7702 transactions.
This is a specification deviation and therefore a high severity advisory if the ethereum
crate is used for Ethereum mainnet. Note that signature malleability itself is not a security issue, and therefore if the ethereum
crate is used on a single-implementation blockchain, it’s a low/informational severity advisory.
