CVE-2024-52912

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Bitcoin Core versions prior to 0.21.0

Description: The issue arises from an integer overflow when calculating the time offset for newly connecting peers, combined with an abs64 logic bug. This can lead to a network split.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 0.21.0, update to version 0.21.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the connection of new peers to minimize the risk of a network split.
