Security Alert – cpp-ethereum’s account unlocking problem not yet fixed [Now fixed]

Affected configurations: cpp-ethereum (eth, AlethZero, …) model 1.2.0 as much as 1.2.6
Observe: Neither “geth” nor “Mist” nor the “Ethereum Pockets” (until explicitly used along with cpp-ethereum) are affected by this, they lock accounts appropriately once more.

That is only a fast head’s up that cpp-ethereum’s security issue around account security isn’t but correctly mounted. The repair that’s a part of cpp-ethereum model 1.2.6 didn’t lower the safety, but it surely additionally didn’t repair the bug fully. We are going to work in direction of one other bugfix launch and announce it as soon as the repair is correctly verified.

A repair is now out there: Launch 1.2.7 – https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella/releases/tag/v1.2.7
