Impact

A node can be made to crash by a suitably crafted network message during the noise handshake phase. There is no workaround and an attacker could force the entire network to stop by either connecting to nodes, or accepting connections to nodes and issuing malformed packages during the handshake.

This is caused by an array out of bounds issue in the noise explorer. See GHSA-wp5m-gj88-8pvg for details.
