Summary
Vyper from 0.3.4 through 0.5.0b1 computes the remaining blueprint size in create_from_blueprint with uint256 subtraction before checking that code_offset is below the blueprint's code size. A huge offset wraps to a small positive value (CWE-681). An unauthenticated remote attacker who controls code_offset can make a factory deploy contracts with no runtime code, potentially trapping ETH and tokens.

Description from the CNA
Vyper 0.3.4 through 0.5.0b1 computes the remaining blueprint size in create_from_blueprint by uint256 subtraction without first checking that code_offset is below the blueprint's code size, so a huge offset wraps to a small positive value. An attacker controlling code_offset can make a factory deploy contracts with no runtime code, potentially trapping ETH and tokens.
