Zebra before 6.2.1 Block Download Denial of Service via KnownBlock SentHashes Lockout

Type: advisorySource: Official CVE List1 source record

Zebra before 6.2.1 contains an incomplete cleanup vulnerability that allows unauthenticated peers to block downloading of valid blocks by leaving rejected hashes in SentHashes. Attackers can send a contextually invalid block sharing an honest block's header hash, causing Request::KnownBlock to skip the honest block and keep nodes behind the tip.
