What is CVE-2012-1910?
The vulnerability in Bitcoin-Qt allows remote attackers to initiate a denial of service by sending specially crafted Bitcoin protocol messages.

Affected users of Bitcoin-Qt versions prior to specific updates are advised to upgrade to the latest versions to mitigate this risk.
