CVE-2018-17144
Bitcoin Core 0.14.x before 0.14.3, 0.15.x before 0.15.2, and 0.16.x before 0.16.3 and Bitcoin Knots 0.14.x through 0.16.x before 0.16.3 allow a remote denial of service (application crash) exploitable by miners via duplicate input.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.75%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
