Arbitrum's recent upgrade to ArbOS 32 has effectively tackled various security issues.

Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution Arbitrum The Arbitrum upgrade to ArbOS 32 has been successfully rolled out across Arbitrum One, Nova, and Sepolia networks.

Arbitrum has highlighted the importance for node operators on these platforms to upgrade their nodes to at least Arbitrum Nitro v3.2.0. In particular, those operating validator nodes are required to transition to version v3.2.1 to ensure continued compatibility.

The newly released upgrade brings significant security improvements, and the Arbitrum Security Council is preparing for an immediate action to implement ArbOS 32 shortly. This urgency underscores the necessity of the version upgrade. To facilitate this transition, a binary of the upgrade has been made available ahead of time, with the source code expected to be published just before the update is enacted.

This upgrade was instituted following a collaborative effort with the Security Council, which sanctioned the swift action to rectify a mispricing concern within Arbitrum Stylus. This vulnerability posed a risk for denial-of-service attacks, potentially enabling malicious contracts to disrupt network nodes and inflate costs for SLOAD operations on Stylus contracts.
