CVE-2026-109365 Details
Description
Zebra before 6.4.0 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability that allows unauthenticated peers to force full proof verification by serving forged block bodies with valid header hashes. Attackers can flip authorizing-only bytes such as a coinbase scriptSig, wasting Sapling, Orchard, and Ironwood proof verification without penalty and stalling sync for 67 seconds.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Zebra versions prior to 6.4.0. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated peers to force full proof verification by sending forged block bodies that contain valid header hashes. Attackers can manipulate authorizing-only bytes, such as those in the coinbase scriptSig, causing a waste of verification resources for Sapling, Orchard, and Ironwood proofs. This exploitation does not incur any penalties, but it disrupts synchronization processes for 67 seconds.
Users can upgrade to Zebra version 6.4.2 or later to address this vulnerability.
