This is a minor test-framework fix for Bitcoin Core's automated QA on NetBSD. It tells the `lsof` network tool to ignore harmless warning messages about device cache files and operating-system version mismatches so those warnings don't bre…
5d01aa47by Hennadii Stepanov+2−11 fileThis commit only updates the NetBSD build documentation to add the `lsof` utility as a test suite dependency and explains how to force-install it if needed. It is a documentation-only change with no code modifications and no security relev…
5e96a8fdby Hennadii Stepanov+8−11 fileThis is a small test-only change that lets Bitcoin Core's internal test tools recognize the illumos operating system (reported as 'sunos5') when listing network addresses and interfaces. It does not change the Bitcoin node software itself,…
f4a6d079by Hennadii Stepanov+4−41 fileThis is a small test-only change. A helper function used by Bitcoin Core's automated tests is being updated to no longer claim OpenBSD as a supported platform, because OpenBSD does not include the 'lsof' tool that the function relies on. I…
4cb7f39cby Hennadii Stepanov+2−11 fileThis commit simply updates the FreeBSD build documentation to add the `lsof` utility to the list of packages needed to run the test suite. It is a documentation-only change with no code modifications and no security implications.
1c173556by Hennadii Stepanov+1−11 fileThis is a harmless test-suite maintenance change. It adds a helper that skips certain Bitcoin Core functional tests on non-Linux systems when the 'lsof' tool is missing. It does not change the actual Bitcoin node software, network rules, w…
8a982eeaby Hennadii Stepanov+7−03 filesThis is a test-only change. It updates a single unit test file to run the HTTP request handler on a separate worker thread instead of handling it synchronously. There is no change to production code, no security fix, and no vulnerability.
b98b10c0by Matthew Zipkin+15−31 fileThis commit only changes a test file. It strengthens an existing test for the Bitcoin Core HTTP server so it can better catch a race condition where the server might stop reading new requests from a connection. The commit itself does not c…
f595daf1by Matthew Zipkin+29−21 fileThis commit only adds new unit tests for the Bitcoin Core HTTP server. It creates a fake network socket that sometimes returns a 'try again' error, then verifies the server retries and still sends all replies. No production code is changed…
922b08d3by Matthew Zipkin+129−203 filesThis commit fixes a subtle timing bug in Bitcoin Core's built-in HTTP server. Under a specific race between a worker thread preparing a response and the I/O thread sending data, a connection could get permanently stuck waiting to write eve…
73da2a8aby Matthew Zipkin+24−102 filesThis commit stops users of Electrum's mobile-style QML interface from giving a wallet a name that begins with a dot (like '.secret'). Such 'hidden' files are normally invisible in the wallet list, so a user could create a wallet and then b…
04eb5a19by f321x+3−01 fileThis is a tiny follow-up patch that changes how error messages from Trezor hardware wallets are displayed in Electrum's setup wizard. It switches from showing a programmer-style representation (repr) to a more readable plain-text message (…
154d79ebby Roman Zeyde+2−21 fileA quiet fix may be responsible caution—or it may leave users unaware that their assets were ever at risk. CommitWatch preserves the evidence, adds context, and tracks whether vendors disclose, acknowledge, and learn.
