NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream k3s-1.34 package and not the k3s-1.34 package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

The Kademlia DHT (go-libp2p-kad-dht 0.20.0 and earlier) used in IPFS (0.18.1 and earlier) assigns routing information for content (i.e., information about who holds the content) to be stored by peers whose peer IDs have a small DHT distance from the content ID. This allows an attacker to censor content by generating many Sybil peers whose peer IDs have a small distance from the content ID, thus hijacking the content resolution process.
