**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Geth versions prior to 1.9.24
**Description**
An ethash mining DAG generation flaw in Geth could cause miners to erroneously calculate Proof of Work in an upcoming epoch. This issue is relevant only for miners, as non-mining nodes are unaffected. The flaw was observed on the ETC chain on 2020-11-06.
