CVE-2026-123560 PUBLISHED

Zebra before 7.0.0 Sync Denial of Service via Forged Checkpoint Block Body

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 06.11.2026 Published: 08.11.2026 Updated: 08.11.2026

Zebra before 7.0.0 contains an incomplete cleanup vulnerability that allows unauthenticated peers to stall initial sync by serving a forged checkpoint block body. Attackers can supply a body with forged authorizing data near the final checkpoint, leaving rejected hashes in the sent-hash set so the node stops requesting blocks until restart.
