From a53b07313ffef3f4a3ad00a1a1befb4d9746d271 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gregory Maxwell Date: Sun, 9 Sep 2012 20:11:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Apply BIP30 checks to all blocks except the two historic violations. Matt pointed out some time ago that there existed a minor DOS attack where a node in its initial block download could be wedged by an overwrite attack in a fork created between checkpoints before a time where BIP30 was enforced. Now that the BIP30 timestamp is irreversibly past the check can be more aggressive and apply to all blocks except the two historic violations. --- src/main.cpp | 13 +++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/main.cpp b/src/main.cpp index 1860f471da3..26adbf71780 100644 --- a/src/main.cpp +++ b/src/main.cpp @@ -1173,9 +1173,18 @@ bool CBlock::ConnectBlock(CTxDB& txdb, CBlockIndex* pindex) // See BIP30 and http://r6.ca/blog/20120206T005236Z.html for more information. // This logic is not necessary for memory pool transactions, as AcceptToMemoryPool // already refuses previously-known transaction ids entirely. - // This rule applies to all blocks whose timestamp is after March 15, 2012, 0:00 UTC. + // This rule was originally applied all blocks whose timestamp was after March 15, 2012, 0:00 UTC. + // Now that the whole chain is irreversibly beyond that time it is applied to all blocks except the + // two in the chain that violate it.
