CVE-2019-15947 1 Bitcoin 1 Bitcoin Core 2022-05-03 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
In Bitcoin Core 0.18.0, bitcoin-qt stores wallet.dat data unencrypted in memory. Upon a crash, it may dump a core file. If a user were to mishandle a core file, an attacker can reconstruct the user's wallet.dat file, including their private keys, via a grep "6231 0500" command.
CVE-2021-3195 1 Bitcoin 1 Bitcoin Core 2021-03-08 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
** DISPUTED ** bitcoind in Bitcoin Core through 0.21.0 can create a new file in an arbitrary directory (e.g., outside the ~/.bitcoin directory) via a dumpwallet RPC call. NOTE: this reportedly does not violate the security model of Bitcoin Core, but can violate the security model of a fork that has implemented dumpwallet restrictions.
CVE-2020-14198 1 Bitcoin 1 Bitcoin Core 2020-09-30 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 allows remote denial of service.
CVE-2018-17145 7 Bcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoinknots and 4 more 7 Bcoin, Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Knots and 4 more 2020-09-15 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Bitcoin Core 0.16.x before 0.16.2 and Bitcoin Knots 0.16.x before 0.16.2 allow remote denial of service via a flood of multiple transaction inv messages with random hashes, aka INVDoS. NOTE: this can also affect other cryptocurrencies, e.g., if they were forked from Bitcoin Core after 2017-11-15.
CVE-2017-12842 1 Bitcoin 1 Bitcoin Core 2020-03-23 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Bitcoin Core before 0.14 allows an attacker to create an ostensibly valid SPV proof for a payment to a victim who uses an SPV wallet, even if that payment did not actually occur. Completing the attack would cost more than a million dollars, and is relevant mainly only in situations where an autonomous system relies solely on an SPV proof for transactions of a greater dollar amount.
CVE-2016-10725 1 Bitcoin 3 Bitcoin-qt, Bitcoin Core, Bitcoind 2020-03-18 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
In Bitcoin Core before v0.13.0, a non-final alert is able to block the special "final alert" (which is supposed to override all other alerts) because operations occur in the wrong order. This behavior occurs in the remote network alert system (deprecated since Q1 2016). This affects other uses of the codebase, such as Bitcoin Knots before v0.13.0.knots20160814 and many altcoins.
CVE-2016-10724 1 Bitcoin 3 Bitcoin-qt, Bitcoin Core, Bitcoind 2020-03-18 7.8 HIGH 7.5 HIGH
Bitcoin Core before v0.13.0 allows denial of service (memory exhaustion) triggered by the remote network alert system (deprecated since Q1 2016) if an attacker can sign a message with a certain private key that had been known by unintended actors, because of an infinitely sized map. This affects other uses of the codebase, such as Bitcoin Knots before v0.13.0.knots20160814 and many altcoins.
CVE-2015-3641 1 Bitcoin 1 Bitcoin Core 2020-03-18 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
bitcoind and Bitcoin-Qt prior to 0.10.2 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (disabled functionality such as a client application crash) via an "Easy" attack.
CVE-2017-9230 1 Bitcoin 1 Bitcoin 2018-06-14 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
** DISPUTED ** The Bitcoin Proof-of-Work algorithm does not consider a certain attack methodology related to 80-byte block headers with a variety of initial 64-byte chunks followed by the same 16-byte chunk, multiple candidate root values ending with the same 4 bytes, and calculations involving sqrt numbers. This violates the security assumptions of (1) the choice of input, outside of the dedicated nonce area, fed into the Proof-of-Work function should not change its difficulty to evaluate and (2) every Proof-of-Work function execution should be independent. NOTE: a number of persons feel that this methodology is a benign mining optimization, not a vulnerability.
