      "value": "CometBFT is a distributed, Byzantine fault-tolerant, deterministic state machine replication engine. In the `blocksync` protocol peers send their `base` and `latest` heights when they connect to a new node (`A`), which is syncing to the tip of a network. `base` acts as a lower ground and informs `A` that the peer only has blocks starting from height `base`. `latest` height informs `A` about the latest block in a network. Normally, nodes would only report increasing heights. If `B` fails to provide the latest block, `B` is removed and the `latest` height (target height) is recalculated based on other nodes `latest` heights. The existing code however doesn\u0027t check for the case where `B` first reports `latest` height `X` and immediately after height `Y`, where `X \u003e Y`. `A` will be trying to catch up to 2000 indefinitely. This condition requires the introduction of malicious code in the full node first reporting some non-existing `latest` height, then reporting lower `latest` height and nodes which are syncing using `blocksync` protocol. This issue has been patched in versions 1.0.1 and 0.38.17 and all users are advised to upgrade. Operators may attempt to ban malicious peers from the network as a workaround."

      "value": "CometBFT es un motor de replicaci\u00f3n de m\u00e1quina de estados determinista, tolerante a fallas bizantinas y distribuido. En el protocolo `blocksync`, los pares env\u00edan sus alturas `base` y `latest` cuando se conectan a un nuevo nodo (`A`), que se sincroniza con la punta de una red. `base` act\u00faa como una base inferior e informa a `A` que el par solo tiene bloques que comienzan con la altura `base`. La altura `latest` informa a `A` sobre el \u00faltimo bloque en una red. Normalmente, los nodos solo informar\u00edan alturas crecientes. Si `B` no proporciona el \u00faltimo bloque, `B` se elimina y la altura `latest` (altura objetivo) se recalcula en funci\u00f3n de las alturas `latest` de otros nodos. Sin embargo, el c\u00f3digo existente no verifica el caso en el que `B` primero informa la `latest` altura `X` e inmediatamente despu\u00e9s la altura `Y`, donde `X \u0026gt; Y`. `A` intentar\u00e1 alcanzar el 2000 indefinidamente. Esta condici\u00f3n requiere la introducci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo malicioso en el nodo completo que primero informa una altura `latest` inexistente, luego informa una altura `latest` menor y nodos que se sincronizan mediante el protocolo `blocksync`. Este problema se ha corregido en las versiones 1.0.1 y 0.38.17 y se recomienda a todos los usuarios que actualicen. Los operadores pueden intentar prohibir el acceso de pares maliciosos a la red como workaround."
