What fixes it

A fixed version on one release line is not the upgrade target for every line. Check your exact version and any vendor backports.

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.
