Ethereum client Geth releases "Schwarzschild" update to fix vulnerabilities in older versions
Internet reports that developers of the Ethereum client Geth released version 1.14.13 codenamed "Schwarzschild" on Thursday. This release explicitly addresses a vulnerability that affects the Geth point-to-point (p2p) layer, which could lead to denial of service attacks on the nodes on which they are running and could affect Layer 2 clients. Geth is the most widely used execution layer client for Ethereum. The vulnerability is classified as CVE-2025-24883, which states that the Geth version is "vulnerable to DoS attacks via malicious p2p messages." Version 1.14.0 seems to have accidentally introduced this security issue. Users running Geth 1.14 (or later until 1.14.13) are urged to update to the latest version to mitigate the risk of node crashes or other outages. The emergency release is critical because the vulnerability, originally discovered by Polygon security researchers, could allow attackers to remotely crash nodes running a vulnerable version of Geth. The Geth team clarified that nodes running on the v1.13.x series are not affected by this specific vulnerability.
