Description
Impact
Due to missing overflow check for loop variables, by assigning the iterator of a loop to a variable, it is possible to overflow the type of the latter.
In the following example, calling `test` returns `354`, meaning that the variable `a` did store `354` a value out of bound for the type `uint8`.
```Vyper
@external
def test() -> uint16:
x:uint8 = 255
a:uint8 = 0
for i in range(x, x+100):
a = i
return convert(a,uint16)
```
The issue seems to happen only in loops of type `for i in range(a, a + N)` as in loops of type `for i in range(start, stop)` and `for i in range(stop)`, the compiler is able to raise a `TypeMismatch` when trying to overflow the variable.
