Résumé
nimiq-block has skip block quorum bypass via out-of-range BitSet indices & u16 truncation
Description d'origine
La description telle que publiée par la source (souvent en anglais).
nimiq-block contains block primitives to be used in Nimiq's Rust implementation. SkipBlockProof::verify computes its quorum check using BitSet.len(), then iterates BitSet indices and casts each usize index to u16 (slot as u16) for slot lookup. Prior to version 1.3.0, if an attacker can get a SkipBlockProof verified where MultiSignature.signers contains out-of-range indices spaced by 65536, these indices inflate len() but collide onto the same in-range u16 slot during aggregation. This makes it possible for a malicious validator with far fewer than 2f+1 real signer slots to pass skip block proof verification by multiplying a single BLS signature by the same factor. The patch for this vulnerability is included as part of v1.3.0. No known workarounds are available.
