#381 De illusie van oranje helden

Ze noemen zichzelf redders, leiders of visionairs. De mannen die de mensheid behoeden van het kwaad. De geschiedenis zit er vol mee. Maar helden zijn zelden zo onbaatzuchtig als ze lijken. Achter de maskers van nobelheid schuilt vaak een agenda—een verlangen naar macht, erkenning of rijkdom. Ook als ze zogenaamd schoppen tegen het huidige regime. […]

Disclosure of hindered block propagation due to stalling peers

Before Bitcoin Core v25.1, an attacker can cause a node to not
download the latest block.
This issue is considered Medium severity.
Details
When receiving a new block announcement via a headers or compact
blocks message, the delivering peer is requested either the full
block or missing transaction details by the receiving node. If
the announcing peer then doesn’t respond as the peer to peer
protocol requires, the affected Bitcoin Core node will wait
up to 10 minutes before disconnecting the peer and making another
block download attempt. If the attacker is able to
make multiple incoming or outgoing connections, this process
can be repeated.
Delaying block delivery can cause network degradation by slowing down network convergence,
making mining payouts less fair, and causing liveliness issues.
This issue was further exacerbated by other issues disclosed recently (for
instance the inventory build-up),
when mempools were relatively heterogeneous, disallowing
opportunistic reconstruction of compact blocks by honest peers.
A mitigation was introduced in #27626,
introduced in Bitcoin Core v26.0 and backported to v25.1.
It ensures that blocks can be requested concurrently from up to 3
high-bandwidth compact block peers, one of which is required
to be an outbound connection.
Attribution
Reported and fixed by Greg Sanders.

Bitcoin Core v28.0: Testnet4, Default Full RBF & More

Bitcoin Core 28.0 is the latest major release of predominant Bitcoin full node implementation.

https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/bitcoin-core-v28/

#Eenentwintig #Nieuws #News #BitcoinNews


Disclosure of hindered block propagation due to mutated blocks

Before Bitcoin Core v25.0, a peer sending mutated blocks could clear the
download state of other peers that also announced the block to us, which would
hinder block propagation.
This issue is considered Medium severity.
Details
Bitcoin Core treats a block as mutated when, for example, the Merkle root in the
header or the witness commitment in the coinbase transaction doesn’t match the
transactions in the block.
Before Bitcoin Core v25.0, a peer could clear the block download state of
other peers by sending an unrequested mutated block. This was a problem for, for
example, compact block relay. After receiving a compact block and while waiting
for a response to a getblocktxn request to reconstruct the full block,
receiving the mutated block would let Bitcoin Core forget about the compact
block reconstruction state. A blocktxn response arriving after the mutated
block couldn’t be used to reconstruct the block. This hindered block propagation.
This was fixed in #27608 by
making sure that a peer can only affect its own block download state and not the
download state of other peers.
Attribution
Credit goes to Suhas Daftuar for noticing the problem and working on a fix.
Timeline
2023-05-08 - A problem with mutated blocks is first reported in the #bitcoin-core-dev IRC channel.
2023-05-10 - Fix is merged (#27608)
2023-05-25 - v25.0 is released
2024-10-09 - Public disclosure

#Eenentwintig #Nieuws #News #BitcoinNews


Disclosure of CVE-2024-35202

Before Bitcoin Core v25.0, an attacker could remotely crash Bitcoin Core
nodes by triggering an assertion in the blocktxn message handling logic.
This issue is considered High severity.
Details
When receiving a block announcement via a cmpctblock message, Bitcoin Core
attempts to reconstruct the announced block using the transactions in its own
mempool as well as other available transactions. If reconstruction fails due to
missing transactions it will request them from the announcing peer via a
getblocktxn message. In response a blocktxn message is expected, which should
contain the requested transactions.
The compact block protocol employs shortened transaction identifiers to reduce
bandwidth. These short-ids are 6 byte in size, resulting in a small chance for
collisions (i.e. transaction A has the same short-id as transaction B) upon
block reconstruction. Collisions will be detected as the merkle root computed
from the reconstructed set of transactions will not match the merkle root from
the block announcement. Peers should not be punished for collisions as they may
happen spuriously, therefore they are handled by falling back to requesting the
full block.
Bitcoin Core will create an instance of PartiallyDownloadedBlock
whenever a new compact block is received. If missing transactions are
requested, the instance is persisted until the corresponding blocktxn message
is processed. Upon receiving the blocktxn message,
PartiallyDownloadedBlock::FillBlock is called, attempting to
reconstruct the full block. In the collision case described above, the full
block is requested but the PartiallyDownloadedBlock instance as
well as the other state related to the underlying block request is left
untouched. This leaves room for a second blocktxn message for the same block to
be processed and trigger FillBlock to be called again. This
violates the assumption (documented as an assert statement) that
FillBlock can only be called once and causes the node to crash.
An attacker does not need to get lucky by triggering a collision, as the
collision handling logic can easily be triggered by simply including
transactions in the blocktxn message that are not committed to in the block’s
merkle root.
Attribution
Credit goes to Niklas Gögge for discovering and disclosing the vulnerability,
as well as fixing the issue in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26898.
Timeline
2022-10-05 - Niklas Gögge reports the issue to the Bitcoin Core security mailing list.
2023-01-24 - PR #26898 containing the fix is merged.
2023-05-25 - Bitcoin Core 25.0 is released with the fix.
2024-10-09 - Public disclosure.
