General
4/7 - It stores the bloated version anyway, bytes and all. Send enough oversized messages and you can stuff a node's memory until it chokes and crashes. One attacker, an ordinary connection, and nodes falling off the network. The bug was catalogued as CVE-2013-4627.
Post summary
The post details how sending oversized messages triggers a memory overflow in CVE‑2013‑4627, leading nodes to crash, but provides no evidence of active exploitation, a PoC, or a patch.
