Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Zebra nodes running versions before 4.3.0 (the zebrad package, and zebra-consensus before 5.0.1) can accept a block containing a V5 transaction whose authorization data was altered, because the verification cache matches only on the transaction id. A malicious miner who sees a valid transaction in a node's mempool could craft such a block and cause that node to split from the rest of the Zcash network. Upgrade zebrad to 4.3.0 or later and zebra-consensus to 5.0.1 or later; the source lists no workarounds.
