[ASA-201809-2] bitcoin-qt: denial of service
Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201809-2 ========================================= Severity: Medium Date : 2018-09-22 CVE-ID : CVE-2018-17144 Package : bitcoin-qt Type : denial of service Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-766 Summary ======= The package bitcoin-qt before version 0.16.3-1 is vulnerable to denial of service. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 0.16.3-1. # pacman -Syu "bitcoin-qt>=0.16.3-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 0.16.3. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== Bitcoin Core 0.14.x before 0.14.3, 0.15.x before 0.15.2, and 0.16.x before 0.16.3 and Bitcoin Knots 0.14.x through 0.16.x before 0.16.3 allow a remote denial of service (application crash) exploitable by miners via duplicate input. Any attempts to double-spend a transaction output within a single transaction inside of a block where the output being spent was created in the same block, the same assertion failure will occur (as exists in the test case which was included in the 0.16.3 patch). However, if the output being double-spent was created in a previous block, an entry will still remain in the CCoin map with the DIRTY flag set and having been marked as spent, resulting in no such assertion. This could allow a miner to inflate the supply of Bitcoin as they would then be able to claim the value being spent twice. Impact ====== A remote attacker is able to crash the bitcoin-daemon or the bitcoin-qt application. This vulnerability could allow a miner to inflate the supply of Bitcoin as they would then be able to claim value being spent twice.
