Bitcoin Core Speeds Up Security Fixes
Bitcoin Core announced a policy amendment on October 22 that allows developers to backport security fixes for easily rediscovered vulnerabilities to all maintained releases. A network snapshot from October 18 showed that 43.6% of 8,422 self-reported Bitcoin Core peers were running unsupported versions. Antoine Poinsot, the maintainer, stated that the new policy fits better with AI systems that can rediscover bugs, as it reduces the embargo period for fixes from two weeks to immediate publication of advisories.
