Octez version 25.2 hardens the Octez node against security threats and improves its robustness by:
-
introducing stricter validation that rejects ill-formed operations before they are applied
-
strengthening Micheline parsing to early reject too deeply nested values
-
improving DAL node robustness and resilience
-
The DAL node now bounds the memory and processing resources used to handle peer-to-peer traffic, keeping it robust under heavy or abnormal traffic.
-
An unresponsive DAL node no longer blocks baker proposing and attesting, and bakers now detect when their DAL node is down.
-
A crash that could occur when restarting a DAL node is now fixed
-
This release also includes several minor improvements to the robustness of the L1 node.
We recommend that all node operators and bakers upgrade promptly.
