RE: About Hivemind, the recent Steemit outage, and "Fake Nodes"
I'd also like to hear more about this malformed transaction, what it was, how it got onto the chain, and whether this points out a vulnerability that needs to be fixed.
While I strongly agree that there's no security through obscurity, and even though @ety001 has already patched the issue, I'd rather not elaborate on the particular transaction here until I've had time to audit the codebase a little deeper. I hope you understand!
Just to add that this tx was completely valid from the chain perspective -- no issue with steemd.
I think it probably has been fixed. I noticed this in github the other day: remove special char from hive role title.
Thanks. I overlooked the commit. Probably because it has not yet been pulled into the branch.
That is the fix, yes :)
