Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Zebrad versions before 4.5.0 are vulnerable, including all default configurations up to and including v4.4.1. A single unauthenticated peer connecting over the P2P network can advertise fake transaction IDs to occupy all 25 mempool download slots, causing other peers' transactions and local RPC submissions to be rejected while the attack continues. Upgrade to zebrad 4.5.0. No complete configuration workaround exists.
