 Why Stablecoins Make P2P Trades Easier

Acquiring Bitcoin through peer-to-peer (P2P) trading was the default method of acquiring the asset if you didn’t have your own mining set up back in the day, but as the market grew, new entrants couldn’t resist the scale, ease and liquidity that comes with centralisation. Today, the most common method of acquiring Bitcoin is to […]

 Bitcoin Core Discloses Three Vulnerabilities Affecting Versions Up to v25.0

#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.
