Title: CVE-2012-3789 disclosure
Post by: Sergio_Demian_Lerner on January 08, 2013, 06:10:03 PM
Given that update ratio from 0.6.2 to 0.6.3+ has probably passed the 80% (*) barrier for a long time, I decided to publish the full CVE-2012-3789 vulnerability report, since that is my obligation with the community.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CVE-2012-3789 (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CVE-2012-3789)

I encourage those who are working in the Satoshi client to peer review the report. Also I suggest to people working on alternate clients or derived versions to read the report and see if the attacks apply to other implementations.

Best regards, Sergio.

The deployment links should all be up to date; anyone is welcome to update the wiki percentages as needed. I've updated them now: the CVE in question has 83% fix deployment.
