Zebra before 6.1.0 Chain Stall via Stale parent_error_map Entry

Published Oct 2, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.2 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Zebra before 6.1.0 contains an incomplete cleanup vulnerability in the state write task that allows remote unauthenticated peers to stall node synchronization by poisoning parent_error_map. Attackers can deliver a coinbase-malleated block sharing a canonical block's hash before it propagates, causing the next canonical block to be rejected and stalling the node for roughly 2,000 blocks.
