CVE-2019-15947

by ·

In Bitcoin Core 0.18.0, bitcoin-qt stores wallet.dat data unencrypted in memory. Upon a crash, it may dump a core file. If a user were to mishandle a core file, an attacker can reconstruct the user’s wallet.dat file, including their private keys, via a grep "6231 0500" command.
