The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This update fixes a crash bug in LND's transaction history viewer. When a user or program asked for transactions using very large offset and limit numbers, the old code could add those numbers together in a way that wrapped around to a tiny value, then try to slice a list with that bad value and panic. The new code checks the bounds safely before slicing, preventing the crash. It is a denial-of-service-style bug rather than a theft or remote-code-execution issue.

Recommended action

Apply the patch and include the new unit tests. Operators should upgrade to the fixed 0.20.4/0.21.3 releases. No immediate workaround is required beyond avoiding untrusted callers sending extreme offset/limit values to GetTransactions.

Security signals we found

01

integer overflow in pagination bounds

02

slice-bounds panic reachable through RPC/API parameters

03

denial-of-service via crafted GetTransactions request

04

release notes explicitly describe 'slice-bounds panic'
