Mad props to these guys for finding the "Ping of Geth" - a major bug in Geth that would have let an attacker easily knock all public RPCs offline across Ethereum. https://t.co/uN2o0uj80S
The amazing team of @iosiro_security whitehatted a bug that could have crashed all #Ethereum JSON-RPC nodes post-Dencun upgrade https://t.co/urcydcMXpt https://t.co/EioiXZMwP0
A critical vulnerability was disclosed to the Ethereum Foundation by iosiro_security, which could have allowed attackers to crash Ethereum mainnet geth clients remotely through the eth_call over RPC. This issue, affecting all major RPC providers including Infura, AlchemyPlatform, Ankr, and QuickNode, was identified prior to the Dencun upgrade. The flaw, humorously dubbed the 'Ping of Geth,' could have disrupted all public RPCs across Ethereum.
