What is CVE-2013-5700?

The Bloom Filter implementation in bitcoind and Bitcoin-Qt prior to version 0.8.4rc1 is susceptible to a denial of service attack. By sending a specifically crafted sequence of messages, remote attackers can trigger a divide-by-zero error that results in the daemon crashing. This vulnerability highlights the importance of robust input validation to mitigate potential service disruptions.
