🔔 According to Protos, Bitcoin developers disclosed details of an high-severity software bug.
➡️ Over 13% of the home and business computers around the world that enforce Bitcoin’s rules are vulnerable to a remote shutdown. The bug, named CVE-2024-35202, affects Bitcoin nodes running Core software prior to version 25.0.
➡️ Nodes that have not updated to at least 25.0 allow an attacker to remotely exploit an assertion in the software logic that handles block transaction (‘blocktxn’) messages. Credit for discovering and disclosing the vulnerability goes to Niklas Gögge, who also provided the patch implemented in Bitcoin Core v25.0.
