### Summary


In the withdraw function of the Leverager contract, when the borrowed asset is token1, the code uses the wrong variable in its conditional subtraction. Instead of using the available amount of token1 (amountOut1), it mistakenly uses amountOut0 (the token0 balance) to determine how much to subtract from the owed amount. This error causes an arithmetic underflow if amountOut1 (the correct balance) is less than the owed amount, because the ternary operator selects amountOut0 even though it might be much larger. In Solidity 0.8.x, arithmetic underflow reverts the transaction, blocking the withdrawal.


### Root Cause

The bug is a simple copy‑paste error. In the branch where `borrowed == up.token1`, the code should reference `amountOut1` in the ternary operator. Instead, it mistakenly uses `amountOut0`, leading to an underflow when `token1's balance is insufficient.`

### Internal Pre-conditions

None. 

### External Pre-conditions

None. 

### Attack Path

https://github.com/sherlock-audit/2025-02-yieldoor/blob/main/yieldoor/src/Leverager.sol#L209

In the withdraw function, after obtaining withdrawal amounts from the vault:
```solidity 
uint256 bIndex = ILendingPool(lendingPool).getCurrentBorrowingIndex(borrowed);
uint256 totalOwedAmount = up.borrowedAmount * bIndex / up.borrowedIndex;
uint256 owedAmount = totalOwedAmount * wp.pctWithdraw / 1e18;
// ...
if (borrowed == up.token0) {
    uint256 repayFromWithdraw = amountOut0 < owedAmount ? amountOut0 : owedAmount;
    owedAmount -= repayFromWithdraw;
    amountOut0 -= repayFromWithdraw;
} else if (borrowed == up.token1) {
    // BUG: Should use amountOut1 below instead of amountOut0.
    uint256 repayFromWithdraw = amountOut1 < owedAmount ? amountOut0 : owedAmount;
    owedAmount -= repayFromWithdraw;
    amountOut1 -= repayFromWithdraw;
}
```

2. Issue Trigger:

When borrowed equals up.token1, the condition if (amountOut1 < owedAmount) is met.

Instead of using `amountOut1` (the correct available balance of token1), the code mistakenly uses `amountOut0` to compute repayFromWithdraw.

For example, assume:

`owedAmount` = 150

`amountOut1` = 100 (available token1 is less than owed)

`amountOut0` = 300 (available token0 is much higher)


The ternary operator incorrectly selects amountOut0 (300) because amountOut1 < owedAmount is true.

Then, the code performs:

`owedAmount -= repayFromWithdraw; // 150 - 300`, which underflows.

Solidity 0.8 enforces checked arithmetic, so this underflow causes a revert.


3. Consequences:

Denial of Withdrawal: Users with positions borrowing token1 cannot withdraw if the token1 liquidity is insufficient compared to token0's balance.

Funds Locked: Repeated failures due to underflow may lock user funds, preventing any withdrawal until the bug is fixed.

Attack Vector: Although likely unintentional, an attacker could manipulate the withdrawal scenario (e.g., by altering input amounts) to trigger the bug repeatedly, effectively causing a denial-of-service on withdrawals for token1 borrowers.

 
### Impact

Denial of Withdrawal: Users with positions borrowing token1 cannot withdraw if the token1 liquidity is insufficient compared to token0's balance.

Funds Locked: Repeated failures due to underflow may lock user funds, preventing any withdrawal until the bug is fixed.

        leverager.withdraw(1e18, 1000, 1000, address(this));
    }
}
```

### Mitigation

Correct the code by replacing:

uint256 repayFromWithdraw = amountOut1 < owedAmount ? amountOut0 : owedAmount;

with

uint256 repayFromWithdraw = amountOut1 < owedAmount ? amountOut1 : owedAmount;
