Description

Brief/Intro

When a user deposits stETH into the PufferVault - he will receive shares based on the total assets the vault holds.

The assets amount calculation adds all the floating eth values that are deposited into other platforms for yield and current stETH and eth balance.

When an operator calls initiateETHWithdrawalsFromLido - the vault transfers stETH to LIDO and increases an internal counter (lidoLockedETH).

However - the amount transferred and the amount the counter is increment can be different.

Vulnerability Details

The main issue is with how stETH balance is calculated. There is a known 1-2 wei corner case (https://docs.lido.fi/guides/lido-tokens-integration-guide/#1-2-wei-corner-case) which impacts the exact number of tokens moved.

Therefore when initiateETHWithdrawalsFromLido is called lidoLockedETH can be incremented to a higher value then the actual amount of stETH moved.

Impact Details

the call to initiateETHWithdrawalsFromLido will decrease totalAssets().

Depositors that deposit before initiateETHWithdrawalsFromLido will receive more shares then depositors that deposit after initiateETHWithdrawalsFromLido

Proof of Concept

This POC shows that a depositor before initiateETHWithdrawalsFromLido will earn more shares then a deposit after initiateETHWithdrawalsFromLido.
