In a recent update from COINOTAG, Bitcoin developers have flagged a critical software vulnerability affecting a significant number of Bitcoin nodes. Specifically, over 13% of residential and commercial systems running outdated Core software may face risks linked to remote shutdown capabilities. Identified as CVE-2024-35202, the flaw impacts nodes that have not been upgraded to at least version 25.0. This particular vulnerability allows potential intruders to exploit flaws in the transactional software logic responsible for processing block transaction messages, which could lead to unintended disruptions. Interestingly, it’s important to note that this vulnerability offers minimal economic advantage for typical attackers, minimizing the likelihood of widespread exploitation and underlining the emphasis on timely software updates to safeguard the network.
