Alla bör omgående uppgradera till version 0.6.2 av Bitcoin eftersom tidigare versioner är känsliga för en viss form av DoS-attack.
A denial-of-service vulnerability that affects all versions of bitcoind and Bitcoin-Qt has been reported and fixed. An attacker could isolate a victim's node and cause the creation of blockchain forks.
Because this bug could be exploited to severely disrupt the Bitcoin network we consider this a critical vulnerability, and encourage everybody to upgrade to the latest version: 0.6.2.
Backports for older releases (0.5.5 and 0.4.6) are also available if you cannot upgrade to version 0.6.2.
