SCA: security update for github.com/tendermint/tendermint (GHSA-6jqj-f58p-mrw3)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 431968
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- TenderMint from version 0.33.0 and before version 0.33.6 allows block proposers to include signatures for
the wrong block. This may happen naturally if you start a network, have it run for some time and restart
it (**without changing chainID**). A malicious block proposer (even with a minimal amount of stake) can
use this vulnerability to completely halt the network. This issue is fixed in Tendermint 0.33.6 which
checks all the signatures are for the block with 2/3+ majority before creating a commit. (CVE-2020-15091)
