description
rust-libp2p releases before 0.49.5 mishandle Gossipsub GRAFT topic state. An unauthenticated peer that can reach a Gossipsub listener can consume process memory over time and potentially deny service.
mitigation
Upgrade rust-libp2p to version 0.49.5 or later. Until upgraded, restrict untrusted network access to Gossipsub listeners.
fixed in 0.49.5
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
