This hotfix release adds a soft fork that temporarily disables Orchard actions in
transactions, to mitigate a security issue. We recommend node operators update to
4.5.3 as soon as possible.
Security
- Add a soft fork that temporarily rejects transactions containing Orchard actions.
It activates at a fixed height on Mainnet and at a configurable height on Testnet
(temporary_orchard_disabling_soft_fork_heightin the network config), and the
mempool is revalidated at the activation height to drop any Orchard transactions
accepted beforehand
(GHSA-jfw5-j458-pfv6).
