Zcash releases security update to fix node crashes and consensus split risks
ME News reports that Zcash has released zcashd v6.12.1 and Zebra v4.3.1, fixing four vulnerabilities, including an Orchard operation encoding issue that could cause node crashes and lead to consensus splits. Mining pools running these two implementations have completed the fixes. Developers state there is no evidence of exploitation, funds and privacy remain unaffected, ZEC supply is not at risk of inflation, and an upgrade is recommended.
