Hi, The following vulnerability was published for bitcoin. CVE-2019-15947[0]: | In Bitcoin Core 0.18.0, bitcoin-qt stores wallet.dat data unencrypted | in memory. Upon a crash, it may dump a core file. If a user were to | mishandle a core file, an attacker can reconstruct the user's | wallet.dat file, including their private keys, via a grep "6231 0500" | command. The severity is a bit exagerated here, but given the package is only in testing and unstable, before the buster release this might be considered RC and needed to fix. But it's a long road to there. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
