This fixes an integer signedness error +(present in MiniUPnPc v1.4.20101221 through v2.0) that allows remote attackers +(within the LAN) to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified +other impact. + +This only affects users that have explicitly enabled UPnP through the GUI +setting or through the `-upnp` option, as since the last UPnP vulnerability +(in Bitcoin Core 0.10.3) it has been disabled by default. + +If you use this option, it is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as +possible. + +Known Bugs +========== + +Since 0.14.0 the approximate transaction fee shown in Bitcoin-Qt when using coin +control and smart fee estimation does not reflect any change in target from the +smart fee slider. It will only present an approximate fee calculated using the +default target. The fee calculated using the correct target is still applied to +the transaction and shown in the final send confirmation dialog. + +0.14.2 Change log +================= + +Detailed release notes follow. This overview includes changes that affect +behavior, not code moves, refactors and string updates. For convenience in locating +the code changes and accompanying discussion, both the pull request and +git merge commit are mentioned. + +### RPC and other APIs +- #10410 `321419b` Fix importwallet edge case rescan bug (ryanofsky) + +### P2P protocol and network code +- #10424 `37a8fc5` Populate services in GetLocalAddress (morcos) +- #10441 `9e3ad50` Only enforce expected services for half of outgoing connections (theuni) + +### Build system +- #10414 `ffb0c4b` miniupnpc 2.0.20170509 (fanquake) +- #10228 `ae479bc` Regenerate bitcoin-config.h as necessary (theuni) + +### Miscellaneous +- #10245 `44a17f2` Minor fix in build documentation for FreeBSD 11 (shigeya) +- #10215 `0aee4a1` Check interruptNet during dnsseed lookups (TheBlueMatt) + +### GUI +- #10231 `1e936d7` Reduce a significant cs_main lock freeze (jonasschnelli) + +### Wallet +- #10294 `1847642` Unset change position when there is no change (instagibbs) + +Credits +======= + +Thanks to everyone who directly contributed to this release: + +- Alex Morcos +- Cory Fields +- fanquake +- Gregory Sanders +- Jonas Schnelli +- Matt Corallo +- Russell Yanofsky +- Shigeya Suzuki +- Wladimir J. van der Laan + +As well as everyone that helped translating on [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/). +{% endgithubify %}
