Malware is linked to UAE-backed spies
MultiBit HD before 0.1.2 allows attackers to conduct bit-flipping attacks that insert unspendable Bitcoin addresses into the list that MultiBit uses to send fees to the developers. (Attackers cannot realistically steal these fees for themselves.) This occurs because there is no message authentication code (MAC).
Matteo Memelli reported an out-of-bounds read flaw when parsing CDP
addresses in lldpd, an implementation of the IEEE 802.1ab (LLDP)
protocol. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a
denial of service via a specially crafted CDP PDU packet.
