A recent post-mortem dropped some 🔥 details on a critical vulnerability that was silently patched in Solana validators. This nasty bug could’ve taken down the entire network if left unchecked. Massive kudos to the entire core team and giga chads at Agave for swift execution.
The TL;DR:
- Found in Agave and Jito validators
- Potential for network-wide shutdown
- Stealthily fixed before public reveal
- 67% of validators patched pre-announcement
The culprit? A sneaky assumption about address alignment in the SVM’s CALL_REG opcode implementation.
