Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions @chainsafe/libp2p-noise versions prior to 4.1.2 @chainsafe/libp2p-noise versions prior to 5.0.3

Description The issue is related to the incorrect validation of signatures during the handshake process in the noise protocol implementation. This may allow a man-in-the-middle to pose as other peers and get those peers banned.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.1.2, upgrade to version 4.1.2 to receive a patch. For versions prior to 5.0.3, upgrade to version 5.0.3 to receive a patch. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the handshake process until a patch is available.
