Unpatched Eclair Lightning nodes may crash repeatedly on restart

Original: Unpatched Eclair Lightning nodes may crash repeatedly on restart A flaw in Eclair allows unfunded channels to crash olde

A flaw in Eclair, ACINQ's Bitcoin Lightning Network implementation, allows unfunded channels to crash older nodes. Reports say affected nodes crash repeatedly on restart because saved channel records persist, so rebooting alone does not restore service. Operators are being urged to update to a patched version to avoid prolonged downtime on affected Lightning nodes.

Why now: Lightning node operators are concerned their unpatched nodes could crash in a loop and be pushed offline.
