ChainSecurity Reveals Ethereum Constantinople Upgrade Activates Reentrancy Attack

Fri Jan 18, 2019 7:45 pm

Ethereum’s (ETH) approaching Constantinople upgrade activates vectors for reentrancy attacks, as per ChainSecurity – a smart contract auditing platform, according to a Medium report on January 15, 2019. A reentrancy attack engages a particular function in a smart contract to be called several times before the smart contract is completely performed.

As per ChainSecurity, post-Constantinople upgrade, the functions “address.transfer(….)” & “address.send(….) are susceptible to attack in Solidity smart contracts. Employing these functions, a malicious attacker can call an attack function on his individual smart contract and slip other user’s ETHs out of the contract.
