**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** bitcoind and Bitcoin-Qt versions 0.8.0 through 0.8.1 **Description** The issue allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and conduct double-spending attacks via a large block that triggers incorrect Berkeley DB locking in older product versions. **Recommendations** For versions 0.8.0 through 0.8.1, update to version 0.8.1 or later to resolve the issue.

For bitcoind and Bitcoin-Qt versions 0.5.x prior to 0.5.8rc2, update to version 0.5.8rc2 or later. For bitcoind and Bitcoin-Qt versions 0.6.x prior to 0.6.5rc2, update to version 0.6.5rc2 or later.
