Compatibility
|
|
|
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
|
|
|
|
|
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
|
|
|
|
|
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you
|
|
|
|
|
can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues.
|
|
|
|
|
Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
|
|
|
|
|
frequently tested on them.

Notable changes

|
|
|
===============

|
miniupnp CVE-2017-8798
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 2.0.20170509. This fixes an integer signedness error
|
|
|
|
|
(present in MiniUPnPc v1.4.20101221 through v2.0) that allows remote attackers
|
|
|
|
|
(within the LAN) to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
|
|
|
|
|
other impact.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This only affects users that have explicitly enabled UPnP through the GUI
|
|
|
|
|
setting or through the `-upnp` option, as since the last UPnP vulnerability
|
|
|
|
|
(in Bitcoin Core 0.10.3) it has been disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you use this option, it is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as
|
|
|
|
|
possible.
