Security

The need to uphold the security of crypto platforms has pushed Bitcoin Core to integrate two new security advisories. A few vulnerabilities that Bitcoin Core has experienced in the past and their fixes featured on the advisories to help other developers circumvent security breaches. 
<h2 id="strong-bitcoin-core-outlined-vulnerabilities-and-fixes-strong">Bitcoin Core Outlined Vulnerabilities and Fixes</h2> 
Exposure to security breaches or exploitation of vulnerabilities usually leads to the loss of cryptocurrencies. However, <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/cryptocurrency/">cryptocurrency</a> firms are out to seek approaches and strategies that protect their platforms and their users. 
One of such event is the disclosure of remote crashes due to addr message spam. In this situation, spammed nodes could result from addr messages, which are aimed at crashing the system. However, a fix for this vulnerability came on September 14, 2021 in Bitcoin Core v22.0. Another vulnerability whose fix launched on the same day is the case of nodes crashed by a malicious UPnP device on the local network. 
Bitcoin Core also introduced three fixes on June 3, 2020 in Bitcoin Core 0.20.0. for two different vulnerabilities. One is for when BIP70 implementation in Bitcoin-Qt could silently crash when opening a BIP72 URI. The second is necessary for when a malformed GETDATA message could trigger 100% CPU usage on the receiving node.&nbsp;

The other addresses the challenges of when nodes would allocate up to 50 MB of memory per attacker sending a malicious INV message. Oftentimes, these vulnerabilities are categorized based on their severity as either Low, Medium, High or Critical.&nbsp; 
<h2 id="strong-bitcoin-and-the-growing-adoption-strong">Bitcoin and the Growing Adoption</h2> 
Notably, Bitcoin Core released these security advisories at a time when the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/bitcoin/">Bitcoin</a> landscape is gaining significant attention. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have made tremendous progress in such a short time. The inflows are still rushing in amidst Grayscale’s outflows. In Tuesday’s trading session, the <a href="https://coingape.com/grayscale-bitcoin-etf-gbtc-plummets-11-ahead-btc-mini-trust-distribution/">Grayscale GBTC</a> dropped by more than 11%.&nbsp; 
However, market observers think it is a reaction to the forthcoming transfer of a portion of GBTC’s BTC holdings to the newly established Mini trust.&nbsp; 
The <a href="https://coingape.com/donald-trump-raises-25m-from-bitcoin-conference-2024/">Donald Trump</a> campaign has also given Bitcoin more popularity in the last few weeks. Since he launched his crypto campaign donations, the Republican presidential candidate has seen contributions from some of the industry’s big names. Trump recently raised $25 million while attending the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville.&nbsp;
