Short explanation
Vyper versions prior to 0.2.9 use create_forwarder_to proxies that always report a 4096‑byte RETURNDATASIZE, regardless of actual return size. Calls through such proxies can return corrupted data when the underlying function returns more than 4096 bytes, breaking strict size checks like SafeERC20.safeTransfer.
Corrupted return data can cause token transfer failures and undermine contract logic that relies on exact return sizes.
What should be done?
- Upgrade Vyper to version 0.2.9 or later
- Follow the vendor security advisory
- Test functions that return large data
- Consider alternative proxy implementations
- Update contract code where needed

Chain of evidence and sources
Vyper 0.2.9 öncesi sürümler, create_forwarder_to proxy’lerinde sabit 4096 bayt RETURNDATASIZE bildirir (S0, S1).
Bu durum, 4096 bayttan fazla veri döndüren fonksiyonlarda bozuk veri ve SafeERC20.safeTransfer gibi sıkı kontrollerin başarısız olmasına yol açabilir (S0).
Yama durumu resmi kaynaklarda doğrulanamadı; durum UNKNOWN olarak rapor edilmiştir (S0).
Show the technical text from the sources
Vyper before 0.2.9 deploys forwarder proxies through the built-in create_forwarder_to function that report a fixed 4096-byte RETURNDATASIZE rather than the actual return data size. Calls through these proxies can yield corrupted data when a function returns more than 4096 bytes without return data sanitation, and fail strict return-size checks such as SafeERC20.safeTransfer.
