Developers disclose vulnerability in Bitcoin Core v25.0, urge node operators to update software to fix it
On October 13th, it was reported that Bitcoin developers have once again disclosed details of a serious software vulnerability. According to a senior Core developer, more than 13% of home and commercial computers that execute Bitcoin rules are vulnerable to remote shutdown.
The vulnerability is named CVE-2024-35202 and affects Bitcoin nodes running Core software versions prior to 25.0. Nodes that have not been updated to at least 25.0 will allow attackers to remotely exploit assertions in the software logic of the 'blocktxn' message used to process block transactions. It is worth noting that this vulnerability has almost no economic benefit for ordinary attackers.
