Backport upstream networking and Evo security fixes - #1906
Conversation
Return false when the stored EvoDB best block differs from the validation caller expectation, and cover missing, matching, and mismatched states.
Replace overflow-prone absolute-value checks with direct bounds and cover the full signed range in the timedata tests.\n\nFinding: BTC-08 (CVE-2024-52912)
Keep SOCKS protocol octets unsigned across the receive boundary so domain lengths with the high bit set cannot become oversized reads. Add safe boundary and truncation coverage using a local socket pair. Finding: BTC-14 (CVE-2017-18350)
Retain the final qualifying unknown block from an INV and request headers once after scanning the message. This prevents a maximum inventory from filling a peer send queue with repeated locators. Add a maximum-sized mixed-inventory regression covering queued bytes, final-block selection, known blocks, and transaction inventory handling. BTC-06 (CVE-2024-52915)
A failed compact block reconstruction can leave its consumed partial block in flight. Treat repeated use as invalid instead of asserting. BTC-04 (CVE-2024-35202)
Backport missing-first mempool inventory ordering and a bounded adaptive live relay allowance for BTC-12 (CVE-2024-52923). This prevents stale hashes from pinning per-peer queues while preserving existing live transaction priority and relay filters.
Qualify pre-validation block-request cleanup by sending peer and clear residual ownership only after successful storage for BTC-10 (CVE-2024-52921). Add a registered multi-peer functional regression covering the same-header mutation and valid alternate-delivery paths.

Clear the global mempool at the end of inv_queue_adaptive_drain.
The test adds 50 entries to the global mempool and never removes them. TestingSetup does not clear mempool on destruction. The leftover entries stay visible to every later test case in the same binary, and line 594 asserts that the mempool starts empty. This creates an order-dependent failure for this test and for other mempool tests.
Remove the entries before the test returns.

Rename the parameter to avoid shadowing the global.
src/timedata.cpp already defines the file-scope nTimeOffset on Line 21. The new parameter with the same name hides that variable. Rename it in src/timedata.cpp and src/timedata.h, for example to nOffset.
Proposed fix
-bool IsTimeOffsetWithinRange(int64_t nTimeOffset, int64_t nMaxTimeOffset)
+bool IsTimeOffsetWithinRange(int64_t nOffset, int64_t nMaxTimeOffset)
{
- return nMaxTimeOffset >= 0 && nTimeOffset >= -nMaxTimeOffset && nTimeOffset <= nMaxTimeOffset;
+ return nMaxTimeOffset >= 0 && nOffset >= -nMaxTimeOffset && nOffset <= nMaxTimeOffset;
}As per coding guidelines, avoid variable shadowing because -Wshadow is enabled.

Verdict: Approve. This is a faithful, well-tested backport of eight upstream security fixes (7 Bitcoin Core CVEs + 1 Dash EvoDB hardening). I traced every production change against the upstream fix it claims to port and found no correctness bugs, no consensus or serialization format changes, and no deviations that alter the security properties. Jenkins CI is green on the head commit (14bcd1e), which covers compilation on all platforms plus the unit and RPC test suites.
Fix-by-fix verification
Each change matches its upstream counterpart, with the era-appropriate adaptations done correctly:
- Block download ownership (CVE-2024-52921) — the highest-risk change, and the one I scrutinized hardest.
MarkBlockAsReceived(hash, optional<NodeId>)mirrors Core'sRemoveBlockRequest: a peer-scoped call no-ops unless that peer owns the in-flight entry. The BLOCK handler restructure (forceProcessing |= in-flight; remove(pfrom); … if (fNewBlock) remove(nullopt) else mapBlockSource.erase(hash)) matches Core'sProcessBlockverbatim, including the subtle dropped "only clear on success" guard — safe because a same-hash mutated block always failsCheckBlock(duplicate-tx malleation), leavingfNewBlockfalse so the honest owner's entry survives. The reconstructed-compact-block path keeps thepindex->IsValid(BLOCK_VALID_TRANSACTIONS)guard, andMarkBlockAsInFlight's unconditional clear preserves old semantics with no cross-peer eviction path (call sites are guarded). No double-decrement is possible since the first successful erase makes later calls no-ops. The new functional test reproduces the actual attack: a Merkle-malleated same-hash block from an attacker mid-compact-block-download, which on old code destroyed the honest peer's download state and got the honest peer banned for its subsequent BLOCKTXN. - AddrMan id overflow (CVE-2024-52919) — matches Core PR #30568 exactly, including the
nid_typealias and disclosure link. All id containers widened consistently; the on-disk format is unchanged because serialization already re-indexes through compactintmapUnkIds, and the new test proves byte-identical output with ids aboveINT_MAX. - SOCKS5 reply length (CVE-2017-18350) —
char→uint8_tbuffers;nRecv = pchRet3[0]is now bounded 0–255 into a 256-byte buffer. MakingSocks5()non-static and movingProxyCredentialsto the header is test plumbing only. - INV getheaders coalescing (CVE-2024-52915) — one GETHEADERS per INV batch using the last qualifying hash, matching Core's
best_blockpattern;cs_mainis held throughout so the deferred send is race-free. - Repeated BLOCKTXN (CVE-2024-35202) — remotely reachable
asserts inInitData/FillBlock/IsTxAvailablebecome gracefulREAD_STATUS_INVALID/false, each returning before any state mutation, so the attacker path lands in normal Misbehaving(100) handling. - Adaptive inv drain (CVE-2024-52923) —
GetInventoryBroadcastMaxmatches Core PR #27610's formula and 1000 cap; theCompareDepthAndScoreinversion (missing-tx-sorts-first) is Core's verbatim, and it composes correctly with the existing max-heap comparator and the drain loop's count-only-live-relays behavior. - Time offset overflow (CVE-2024-52912) —
IsTimeOffsetWithinRangeis overflow-safe (short-circuit prevents negating a negative max;INT64_MINmedian no longer UB) and behaviorally identical for normal values. - EvoDB best block —
assert→falseon mismatch; bothvalidation.cppcallers route a mismatch into the existing "reindex to continue"AbortNodepath when DIP3 is active. This is strictly safer: release builds previously accepted a mismatched best block silently.
On the two open CodeRabbit threads
- "
inv_queue_adaptive_draincontaminates the global mempool" — invalid. Its premise ("TestingSetup does not clear mempool on destruction") is wrong for this codebase:~TestingSetup()callsUnloadBlockIndex(), which callstxpools.clear(), which clears the globalmempool— and Boost recreates the fixture per test case. Addingmempool.clear()at the end would be harmless, but nothing depends on it. - "
nTimeOffsetparameter shadows the file-static global" — valid, but style-only. The build enables only-Wshadow-field(not full-Wshadow), so no warning is emitted, and the function body only touches the parameter, so behavior is correct. Still, since the developer notes say to avoid shadowing, renaming the parameter tonOffsetintimedata.{h,cpp}is a worthwhile one-line cleanup before merge.
Minor notes (no action required)
- If
interruptMsgProcfires mid-INV-loop the coalesced GETHEADERS is skipped — shutdown-only path, same trade-off as upstream. - The commit granularity is good (one fix per commit with its regression tests), which will make any future bisect or revert clean.
Generated by Claude Code
Move the flag assignment after CheckBlock and ContextualCheckBlock, matching Bitcoin Core #13439. This prevents a contextual-invalid same-header block from clearing another peer's in-flight compact-block download. Exercise the path with a witness mutation that preserves the txid, Merkle root, and block header.
Clamp negative peer timestamps as in Bitcoin Core #21043. Preserve defined subtraction when Firo's negative mock time is active by saturating the only remaining overflow case. Add a VERSION-path regression using INT64_MIN.

Suggestion: Changing the address tables to maps requires updating Clear() to clear both mapInfo and mapAddr. Unserialize() calls Clear() before loading entries, but the current implementation only swaps vRandom, so reloading an existing addrman leaves stale addresses and IDs in both maps. Subsequent lookups can return entries that are no longer represented in the rebuilt buckets or random vector. Clear the maps before reconstructing the address manager state. [stale reference]

EvoDB best-block consistency (22a09ea)
EvoDB now verifies that its stored best block matches the block expected by validation. A mismatch returns false, allowing the existing recovery and reindex paths to handle the inconsistency instead of silently accepting it in Release
builds. Tests cover missing, matching, and mismatched best-block records.
Peer time-offset overflow (b5e8eea)
Time-offset validation now uses direct bounds instead of an overflow-prone absolute-value calculation. This handles INT64_MIN and the rest of the signed range without undefined behavior. The timedata tests cover the relevant boundary
values. This fixes BTC-08 / CVE-2024-52912.

SOCKS protocol bytes are now kept unsigned while replies are decoded. This prevents a domain length with its high bit set from becoming a very large read into a small stack buffer. Socket-based tests cover maximum-length, truncated, and
malformed replies. This fixes BTC-14 / CVE-2017-18350.
Block inventory header requests (9a4356c)
A large INV message now produces at most one GETHEADERS request, using the final qualifying unknown block. Previously, one maximum-sized inventory could queue thousands of repeated locator messages. The regression test covers maximum-
sized mixed inventories, known blocks, final-block selection, and transaction entries. This fixes BTC-06 / CVE-2024-52915.
Repeated BLOCKTXN handling (4bacddb)
Compact-block reconstruction state is treated as single-use without relying on reachable assertions. A repeated malicious BLOCKTXN now follows normal invalid-message handling instead of aborting the node. Tests cover consumed
reconstruction state and the repeated-fill path. This fixes BTC-04 / CVE-2024-35202.
Transaction inventory queue draining (5d49cdb)
Missing or stale transaction hashes are now removed before live entries, and large queues receive a bounded adaptive drain allowance. This prevents stale hashes from accumulating indefinitely while preserving existing transaction
priority and relay filters. Tests cover queue growth, stale-entry cleanup, adaptive limits, and live transaction relay. This fixes BTC-12 / CVE-2024-52923.
Block-download ownership (a9c5a7d)
Pre-validation block-request cleanup is now restricted to the peer that owns the download. A block received from another peer clears remaining ownership only after successful processing, preventing mutated blocks from disrupting an
honest compact-block download. The functional test covers same-header mutation, incorrect ownership, and successful alternate delivery. This fixes BTC-10 / CVE-2024-52921.
AddrMan identifier overflow (9d2c947)
AddrMan’s internal lifetime identifiers are widened from 32 to 64 bits. This prevents long-running address insertion from overflowing identifiers and corrupting AddrMan’s internal indexes, while preserving the existing on-disk
serialization format. Tests cover identifiers above INT_MAX, internal consistency, and byte-identical serialization. This fixes BTC-15 / CVE-2024-52919.
