&gt; &quot;The attack can be performed by a peer rapidly sending multiple transaction inv messages with random hashes, one below the max at 49,999 items and never sending the corresponding tx data.&quot;<p>Multiple implementations of Bitcoin were affected by this in different ways: Bitcoin Core, Bcoin and Btcd.
