Summary
nimiq-primitives: Node crash due to missing interlink validation in election macro block proposals
Details

Impact

An untrusted p2p peer can cause a node to panic by announcing an election macro block whose validators set contains an invalid compressed BLS voting key.

Hashing an election macro header hashes validators and reaches Validators::voting_keys(), which calls validator.voting_key.uncompress().unwrap() and panics on invalid bytes.

Patches

The patch for this vulnerability is included as part of v1.3.0.

Workarounds

No known workarounds.
