Last modified
CVE-2012-1909 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Bitcoin protocol, as used in bitcoind before 0.4.4, wxBitcoin, Bitcoin-Qt, and other programs, does not properly handle multiple transactions with the same identifier, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (unspendable transaction) by leveraging the ability to create a duplicate coinbase transaction.. EPSS estimates a 2.93% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
