We're releasing 0.6.3 to fix two important issues (a serious potential denial-of-service attack, and to improve new-block propagation times for blocks containing lots of transactions). If you can, please help do some sanity testing-- shutdown bitcoin, then download, install, and run 0.6.3 and let us know "works nicely for me running on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04" by posting a quick reply to this thread. Release notes: Bitcoin version 0.6.3rc1 is now available for download at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.6.3/test/This is a bug-fix release, with no new features. CHANGE SUMMARY ============== Fixed a serious denial-of-service attack that could cause the bitcoin process to become unresponsive. Thanks to Sergio Lerner for finding and responsibly reporting the problem. (CVE-2012-3789) Optimized the process of checking transaction signatures, to speed up processing of new block messages and make propagating blocks across the network faster. Fixed an obscure bug that could cause the bitcoin process to get stuck on an invalid block-chain, if the invalid chain was hundreds of blocks long. Bitcoin-Qt no longer automatically selects the first address in the address book (Issue #1384). Fixed minimize-to-dock behavior of Bitcon-Qt on the Mac. Added a block checkpoint at block 185,333 to speed up initial blockchain download. Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release: ==================================================== Chris Moore Christian von Roques Fordy Gavin Andresen Jeff Garzik Luke Dashjr Matt Corallo Michael Hendricks Peter Todd Philip Kaufmann Pieter Wuille R E Broadley Sergio Lerner Wladimir J. van der Laan

That's actually very sensible way for the scanner to operate. Afterall, this file _is_ brand new. Of course, in this case, you already knew it, so the warnings were just in the way. I'd expect in most cases that would be quite useful in shielding your system from new unknown threats.

It was running fine when I first launced 0.6.3 and began downloading the blockchain from scratch. I then quit before the entire block chain downloaded and moved a copy of these 3 files from 0.6.2 residing on another computer: bitcoin.conf blk0001.dat blkindex.dat Once I tried to relauch bitcoin-qt, I get this error: Runaway exception
A fatal error occured. Bitcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.

Before you copy the blk* files, you must run with the -detachdb option and make sure you shutdown bitcoin and wait for it to exit completely. With 0.6.2, we change the default from "take a long time to shut down, but leave standalone .dat files" to "shutdown quickly, but leave .dat files that are tied to the database/log.* files".
Too many ordinary users were quitting bitcoin and then immediately powering off their systems, leaving the database in a bad state.

Thanks for the info Gavin, I followed these steps and now 0.6.3 is running fine on 64-bit Xubuntu 11.04. Note 1: While waiting the 10 minutes or so to shutdown using the -detachdb option the GUI looks like it's not responding. Note 2: Before I copied the blk* files, I needed ~1350 blocks to synchronize with the network but when I restarted 0.6.3 the count was only ~1050 blocks. After a couple of minutes, the count increased to ~1225. Note 3: I was only able to connect to 8 nodes on 0.6.3 even though the bitcoin.conf hasn't changed and I normally connect to +100 nodes.

Um releasing a testing version and announcing a potential vulnerability in the same thread?? I think you did better here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=81749.0as a pool operator I now feel in a bind, I must update to a RC (that you have asked ppl to test) because you announced a vulnerability So I risk updating 6 or 7 nodes to find the test crashes or I wait for stable and hope no-one uses the vuln against my pool in meantime. what can I say.... Say "thank you for improving bitcoin"? On IRC you seriously offended me with what I considered to be an entitled attitude and unjustified hostility. I was particularly torqued after I said that I didn't agree that it was "critical" and wouldn't have personally described it that way and based on that you continued to repeat allegations that there were no standards and that the developers don't agree about vulnerabilities. I think I would know if I didn't agree with what Gavin posted. I apologize if my willingness to argue back managed to keep us from effectively communicating. For all the trouble you'll have with your nodes keep in mind that we all work hard with Bitcoin too. I maintain more nodes than you do— though I do have the comfort of not handling a large flow of other people's money, I am constantly dealing with juggling changes on them. The issue at question is a (set of) DOS attacks, as described in the announcement. They've been 'disclosed' for a month in git, and have been discussed in the abstract by class as long as a year ago. We have not historically done embargoed releases and early warnings to major infrastructure on issues which didn't allow the theft of Bitcoin or ~O(1) knockout of the network, and I would stridently oppose beginning such a practice: We do not have the resources to manage that, and it would delay getting fixes into the hands of users. This release announcement is not the first public mention of these issues, and standard best practices for node operation will generally protect you from DOS attacks. You should handle this like you'd handle other testing releases: Upgrade one or two of your nodes and report issues. If you do not run testing version the release versions will likely not be of any higher quality. If by some crazy chance someone DOS attacks your other nodes, you at least have some that are working.

Please edit your post to include some kind of warning so that if anyone else hits this they don't just blindly follow your instructions and lose coin. My best guess on your issue is that you didn't shutdown cleanly before upgrading. Deleting your databases is one way to recover from that, but users with coin should take care to not delete their wallets in the process.

well I am sorry you see it that way gmaxwell let me look back over the (public) logs from that chanel <Graet> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88734.20<Graet> some other conversation <gmaxwell> Graet: "Meh" on that. It's getting called a serious vulnerability in part because of the preferences of the person who reported it. I wouldn't have called it that on my own, and it's of a class of DOS attacks that have been discussed in public before. some other stuff not related <Graet> well gmaxwell we need some (oh god again) standards - so ppls opinions have some meaning <Graet> if a dev announcves a serious vuln - it shouldnt be a "matter of opinion" "highly offensive" and "entitled" ? Public channel logs: bit.ly/iPFi3X Some people talk about getting standards in place - some don't seem to care so much, for over a year I have been idling in -dev and seen the "standards" topic come up over and again if I have caused offence by asking for a standard I apologise. Maybe I shouldn't have "(oh god again)" but from an observers point....the topic comes up often. I may not have said "thank you for improving bitcoin" in as many words, but many times i have told the devs "good work" with a smile or other meaning the same thing, and have said thanks when someone has helped me directly. If we had some consensus from the devs already as to what is "severe" and a "critical" and a "trivial" rather than them choosing to announce levels based on individual opinion this discussion would never have occurred. Thank you for the RC I look forward to the release version.

In hindsight, I probably could've just zipped everything up and set it aside or pass it along to someone that couldv'e poked at it to see why. DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU HAVE BITCOINS, IT WILL DESTROY THEM IRRECOVERABLYIs their any way I can 'rm -r .bitcoin' and still have access to all of my coins? Yes, of course their is. 1. Back-up wallet.dat 2. Make a paper back-up 3. Import the keys from another existing offline wallet.

My best guess on your issue is that you didn't shutdown cleanly before upgrading. Deleting your databases is one way to recover from that, but users with coin should take care to not delete their wallets in the process.
No I had problems before upgrading, you should check gmail.

"highly offensive" and "entitled" ?
Yes, entitled,— where you expected to be contacted privately in advance of the "announcement". (Never mind that the stuff in question has been public for a while) Some people talk about getting standards in place - some don't seem to care so much, for over a year I have been idling in -dev and seen the "standards" topic come up over and again
I have no clue what you're talking about there. My grepfu fails me because I can't find anywhere where people have asked about that. Also, I still don't understand how you think my personal preferences proves a lack of uniformity— preferences differ. I also still don't understand your argument about about the classification being unclear since it was described specifically in the announcement instead of just being given a class. ::shrugs::

The Qt GUI gets sluggish on (slow) machines when initial blockchain download is running, this should be resolved or getting way better with 0.7.

well I am sorry you see it that way gmaxwell <gmaxwell> Graet: "Meh" on that. It's getting called a serious vulnerability in part because of the preferences of the person who reported it. I wouldn't have called it that on my own, and it's of a class of DOS attacks that have been discussed in public before. some other stuff not related <Graet> well gmaxwell we need some (oh god again) standards - so ppls opinions have some meaning <Graet> if a dev announcves a serious vuln - it shouldnt be a "matter of opinion"
Dear gmaxwell, Graet, and all, The fact that we do not have a standard to describe how severe a vuln is, is the source of the problem. I consider the vulnerability SERIUS (as any other vulnerability) as Gavin posted. But SERIUS is not the same as SEVERE. I don't consider the vuln severe.I don't remember having pressed anyone to say the vuln had to be called in any way. I just asked for akwnoledgement! I tried to establish a severity standard in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=79830.0But consensus was not reached. I think I will formalize it to help the next time a vuln is found. Nevertheless the page https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CVEs describes the vuln perfectly: "Attacker can disable some functionality, for example by crashing clients". No more, no less. Best regards! And thanks Gavin and the dev team for fixing the vuln for the good of all of us.

Runs fine on Ubuntu 11.10.
There's one thing that I also noticed in 0.6.2: I can't access the menus (they don't show up when I point my mouse to the gray bar at the top of my screen). So I'm not able to encrypt my wallet..

Tested the qt client on 64 bit archlinux. Seems ok except that every time I switch virtual desktops and switch back it has minimised itself to the system tray without me doing anything.

Let me guess, other apps that have a tray-option don't do that? Did you try older official releases, same behaviour? Dia
