<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. | ||
|
||
The command-line bitcoin daemon (bitcoind), Mac and Linux versions of | ||
Bitcoin-Qt, and versions prior to 0.5 are not affected. | ||
|
||
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. | ||
