Affected: vyperlang vyper

Vyper is a pythonic Smart Contract Language for the Ethereum virtual machine. Starting in version 0.3.8 and prior to version 0.4.0b1, when looping over a `range` of the form `range(start, start + N)`, if `start` is negative, the execution will always revert. This issue is caused by an incorrect assertion inserted by the code generation of the range `stmt.parse_For_range()`. The issue arises when `start` is signed, instead of using `sle`, `le` is used and `start` is interpreted as an unsigned integer for the comparison. If it is a negative number, its 255th bit is set to `1` and is hence interpreted as a very large unsigned integer making the assertion always fail. Any contract having a `range(start, start + N)` where `start` is a signed integer with the possibility for `start` to be negative is affected. If a call goes through the loop while supplying a negative `start` the execution will revert. Version 0.4.0b1 fixes the issue.

Affected: PyPI: vyper

### Summary

When looping over a `range` of the form `range(start, start + N)`, if `start` is negative, the execution will always revert. ### Details

This issue is caused by an incorrect assertion inserted by the code generation of the range (`stmt.parse_For_range()`):

https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/blob/9136169468f317a53b4e7448389aa315f90b95ba/vyper/codegen/stmt.py#L286-L287

This assertion was introduced in https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/commit/3de1415ee77a9244eb04bdb695e249d3ec9ed868 to fix https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-6r8q-pfpv-7cgj. The issue arises when `start` is signed, instead of using `sle`, `le` is used and `start` is interpreted as an unsigned integer for the comparison. If it is a negative number, its 255th bit is set to `1` and is hence interpreted as a very large unsigned integer making the assertion always fail. ### PoC

```Vyper @external def foo(): x:int256 = min_value(int256) # revert when it should not since we have the following assertion that fails: # [assert, [le, min_value(int256), max_value(int256) + 1 - 10]], for i in range(x, x + 10): pass ```

### Patches

patched in v0.4.0, specifically, https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/pull/3679 disallows this form of `range()`.

### Impact

Any contract having a `range(start, start + N)` where `start` is a signed integer with the possibility for `start` to be negative is affected. If a call goes through the loop while supplying a negative `start` the execution will r…
