Description
A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in nimiq core-rs-albatross prior to version 1.4.0. The Ed25519PublicKey::delinearize() function calls unwrap() on curve point decompression, which panics if given invalid public key bytes that do not represent a valid point on the Ed25519 curve. This can crash the hosting process. The issue is fixed in version 1.4.0.
