CVE-2026-78662

HIGH CVSS: 7.5 Published: 2026-09-02 Modified: 2026-09-04

Description

Previously, a channel registered in the mux's chanList is not usable until it is established. A malicious peer was able flood the channel's incomingRequests, deadlocking the entire connection. Now, we add an atomic established state, set when a channel becomes usable. Until such a time, handlePacket drops every packet other than the open confirmation/failure, without blocking and without tearing down the connection.

Affected Platforms
