CVE-2019-16762
An attacker could create a specially crafted Bitcoin script in order to cause a hard-fork from the SLP consensus.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description

An attacker could create a specially crafted Bitcoin script in order to cause a hard-fork from the SLP consensus. Affected users can upgrade to any version >= 0.21.4.
