Unknown · Bitcoin Core · CVE-2024-52920
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Bitcoin Core versions prior to 0.20.0
Description:
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an infinite loop, by sending a malformed `GETDATA` message. This can lead to a node crash.
