Impact
SkipBlockProof::verify computes its quorum check using BitSet.len(), then iterates BitSet indices and casts each usize index to u16 (slot as u16) for slot lookup. If an attacker can get a SkipBlockProof verified where MultiSignature.signers contains out-of-range indices spaced by 65536, these indices inflate len() but collide onto the same in-range u16 slot during aggregation.
This makes it possible for a malicious validator with far fewer than 2f+1 real signer slots to pass skip block proof verification by multiplying a single BLS signature by the same factor.
Patches
The patch for this vulnerability is included as part of v1.3.0.
