    Bug in Ethereum client leads to split — EVM-compatible chains at risk



    “Stay away from doing [transactions] for a while till confirmed, unless
    you are sure you are submitting to latest Geth,” advised Andre Cronje. 

    A major consensus bug has affected more than half the Ethereum
    network’s nodes, causing those running older versions of Geth to split
    from the main network.

    According to Ethereum software developer Marius van der Wijden, an attacker exploited
    a vulnerability affecting earlier versions of Geth, one of Ethereum's
    software clients. According to the developer, Geth clients and Ethereum
    nodes running software v1.10.7 or earlier are at risk of splitting from
    the network.

    “Infura and the big exchanges seem to be on the good side of the fork, so all transactions through metamask should be golden,” said
    van der Wijden. “Users that run validators need to update their nodes
    quickly (in the next 10h I think) as they would otherwise vote on
    invalid committees.”

    Binance Smart Chain’s Twitter account and others had previously warned Geth clients to update
    to v1.10.8, which claimed to have a hotfix for the vulnerability in the
    earlier versions. Ethereum Virtual Machine- or EVM-compatible chains
    may also be at risk.

    “Stay away from doing [transactions] for a while till confirmed, unless you are sure you are submitting to latest Geth,” advised Yearn.finance founder Andre Cronje.

    This story is developing and will be updated.
