Geth (aka go-ethereum) through 1.13.4, when –http –graphql is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and daemon hang) via a crafted GraphQL query. NOTE: the vendor's position is that the "graphql endpoint [is not] designed to withstand attacks by hostile clients, nor handle huge amounts of clients/traffic.
go-ethereum (geth) is a golang execution layer implementation of the Ethereum protocol. A vulnerable node, can be made to consume unbounded amounts of memory when handling specially crafted p2p messages sent from an attacker node. The fix is included in geth version 1.12.1-stable, i.e, 1.12.2-unstable and onwards. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
Go Ethereum is the official Golang implementation of the Ethereum protocol. Prior to version 1.10.17, a vulnerable node, if configured to use high verbosity logging, can be made to crash when handling specially crafted p2p messages sent from an attacker node. Version 1.10.17 contains a patch that addresses the problem. As a workaround, setting loglevel to default level (INFO) makes the node not vulnerable to this attack.
Go-Ethereum v1.10.9 was discovered to contain an issue which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (DoS) via sending an excessive amount of messages to a node. This is caused by missing memory in the component /ethash/algorithm.go.
A design flaw in Go-Ethereum 1.10.12 and older versions allows an attacker node to send 5120 future transactions with a high gas price in one message, which can purge all of pending transactions in a victim node's memory pool, causing a denial of service (DoS).
A design flaw in all versions of Go-Ethereum allows an attacker node to send 5120 pending transactions of a high gas price from one account that all fully spend the full balance of the account to a victim Geth node, which can purge all of pending transactions in a victim node's memory pool and then occupy the memory pool to prevent new transactions from entering the pool, resulting in a …
Go-Ethereum nodes crash (denial of service) after receiving a serial of messages and cannot be recovered. They will crash with "runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference" and arise a SEGV signal.
Go Ethereum is the official Golang implementation of the Ethereum protocol. Prior to version 1.10.9, a vulnerable node is susceptible to crash when processing a maliciously crafted message from a peer. Version v1.10.9 contains patches to the vulnerability. There are no known workarounds aside from upgrading.
go-ethereum is the official Go implementation of the Ethereum protocol. In affected versions a consensus-vulnerability in go-ethereum (Geth) could cause a chain split.
In Go Ethereum (aka geth) before 1.8.14, TraceChain in eth/api_tracer.go does not verify that the end block is after the start block.
Go Ethereum, or Geth, is the official Golang implementation of the Ethereum protocol. In Geth a denial-of-service vulnerability can make a LES server crash via malicious GetProofsV2 request from a connected LES client. This vulnerability only concerns users explicitly enabling les server; disabling les prevents the exploit.
Go Ethereum, or Geth, is the official Golang implementation of the Ethereum protocol. In Geth from and a consensus-vulnerability could cause a chain split, where vulnerable versions refuse to accept the canonical chain.
Go Ethereum, or "Geth", is the official Golang implementation of the Ethereum protocol. An ethash mining DAG generation flaw in Geth could cause miners to erroneously calculate PoW in an upcoming epoch. This happened on the ETC chain on . This issue is relevant only for miners, non-mining nodes are unaffected.
Go Ethereum, or "Geth", is the official Golang implementation of the Ethereum protocol. This is a Consensus vulnerability in Geth which can be used to cause a chain-split where vulnerable nodes reject the canonical chain. Geth's pre-compiled dataCopy (at 0x00..0x04) contract did a shallow copy on invocation. An attacker could deploy a contract that writes X to an EVM memory region R, then calls 0x00..0x04 with R as an argument, …
Go Ethereum, or "Geth", is the official Golang implementation of the Ethereum protocol. In Geth, there is a Denial-of-service (crash) during block processing. This is fixed
