Potentially Critical Security Vulnerability

+

+A potential security vulnerability has been discovered in the Windows +version of Bitcoin-Qt. If you are running Bitcoin-Qt versions 0.5 +through 0.6 on Windows you should shut it down and upgrade to either +version 0.5.3.1 or 0.6rc4 NOW. + +The command-line bitcoin daemon (bitcoind), Mac and Linux versions of +Bitcoin-Qt, and versions prior to 0.5 are not affected. + +Due to the nature of the vulnerability, we believe it would be very +difficult for an attacker to do anything more than crash the +Bitcoin-Qt process. However, because there is a possibility of such a +crash causing remote code execution we consider this a critical issue. +

+If you have any questions, feel free to drop by +the #bitcoin-dev channel on Freenode IRC. +
