wxBitcoin and bitcoind before 0.3.13 do not properly handle bitcoins associated with Bitcoin transactions that have zero confirmations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid-transaction flood) by sending low-valued transactions without transaction fees.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Bitcoin client issue could let a remote sender overload vulnerable nodes with many tiny, unconfirmed, fee-free transactions. The business impact is service disruption for systems still running wxBitcoin or bitcoind before 0.3.13. The sources do not show current exploitation or modern product exposure. Likely exposure is limited to very old Bitcoin software deployments or archived environments still operating wxBitcoin or bitcoind before 0.3.13. The provided record lists no specific CPEs and does not identify modern downstream products. Treat this as a legacy exposure check, not an emergency, unless the organization still operates early Bitcoin client software. Priority should rise if affected nodes support business operations or are reachable from untrusted networks. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for wxBitcoin or bitcoind versions before 0.3.13.; Upgrade or retire vulnerable legacy Bitcoin clients where found.; Check Bitcoin project guidance before changing production node behavior..
