Machine-written summary

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

Affected: zebrad versions up to and including 4.4.1, and zebra-rpc before 8.0.0, where a crafted Sapling receiver in a Unified Address passed to z_listunifiedreceivers causes a panic. An attacker needs to authenticate to the RPC endpoint, which with default cookie auth means local access to the cookie file, or network access to the RPC port if cookie auth is disabled. A single request then aborts the whole node process. Upgrade zebrad to 4.5.0 and zebra-rpc to 8.0.0; until then, disable the RPC server or keep cookie auth enabled and restrict access to the cookie file.
