<h1>Potentially Critical Security Vulnerability</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
The command-line bitcoin daemon (bitcoind), Mac and Linux versions of
|
|
Bitcoin-Qt, and versions prior to 0.5 are not affected.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
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.
