Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Vyper versions from 0.1.0b10 before 0.2.3 are affected. A return statement inside a for loop in a nested internal call makes the transaction revert with an invalid jump destination, and the source says this could enable a denial-of-service attack on public contracts under certain conditions. Upgrade to Vyper 0.2.3. The source lists a workaround: avoid returning from inside a for loop that is nested two or more internal calls deep.
