This is a security vulnerability.
In the ConnectBlock() function of src/validation.cpp, it misses the check for whether the block is corrupted or not. If the block is corrupted, it should be abort immediately, otherwise it will repeat trying to connect the corrupted block.
A possible solution is to add a corruption check inner the if statement of line 2399 in src/validation.cpp.
Similar fix from Bitcoin: bitcoin/bitcoin@0e7c52d.
