[Secure-testing-team] Bug#688813: bitcoind: CVE-2012-4683 and CVE-2012-4682

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Package: bitcoind
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Hi,

it seems that two DoS CVEs were allocated for bitcoind, although it's
not clear how it's affected, nor if there's a patch or anything. The
only detail I was able to get was
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CVE.

Could you please investigate with upstream and fix this? As bitcoind is
not in Squeeze nor Wheezy, you should be able to upload a fix to
unstable without issue.

Regards,
