The Bitcoin Lightning software's maintainers say four image tags delivered unpatched binaries while reporting version v26.06.7 at startup, leaving affected users with another task: check the image digest and download a corrected image if it differs.<\/p>\n

Some Core Lightning operators who attempted the v26.06.7 upgrade through Docker may still be missing its security fixes.<\/p>\n

The updated release notice<\/a> identifies the affected tags as v26.06.7<\/code>, latest<\/code>, v26.06.7-vls<\/code> and latest-vls<\/code>. They served images without the release's fixes between Aug. 28 at 16:04 UTC and Sept. 1. The notice gives no precise end time.<\/p>\n

An automated build process published the images from a placeholder tag. Maintainers say they have replaced them and removed every tag's reference to the incorrect manifests. But an operator who retained a faulty image cannot rely on its startup version to confirm the patch arrived.<\/p>\n

Infographic shows faulty Core Lightning Docker images served under four tags, followed by corrected releases and guidance to verify image digests.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Aug. 28 release set a 14-day embargo on publishing its source, pointing to a planned Sept. 11 disclosure. As of Sept. 8, the notice still describes that publication as upcoming. Maintainers say the delay gives operators time to upgrade before prospective attackers can reverse-engineer the fixes.<\/p>\n\n

How to check the Docker image to fix the Lightning bug<\/h2>\n

Maintainers ask anyone who previously pulled one of the four tags to compare its digest, the image's identifying hash, against the corrected values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Docker tags<\/th>\nCorrected digest<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
v26.06.7, latest<\/td>\nsha256:0421a5f0d1b2e1ad639edfa17d777816040e3850d91bae7f2d32186d9c1e6da4<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
v26.06.7-vls, latest-vls<\/td>\nsha256:6a5e05c13a65613f8c0fe3830c60248a6724e7206c1c23dd26ac2e98a3e72c1f<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For the standard versioned image, the notice supplies this command to inspect the local image. Its output alone does not establish which image an existing container is running:<\/p>\n

docker image inspect --format '{{index .RepoDigests 0}}' elementsproject\/lightningd:v26.06.7<\/code><\/pre>\n
If the digest differs, its corresponding download command is:<\/p>\n
docker pull elementsproject\/lightningd:v26.06.7<\/code><\/pre>\n
The notice also supplies docker pull elementsproject\/lightningd:latest<\/code> for that tag. VLS users need the separate VLS digest in the table. Their VLS_CLN_VERSION<\/code> setting must also match v26.06.7<\/code>, or remote_hsmd_socket<\/code> will refuse to start; the signer itself remains VLS v0.14.0.<\/p>\n
Users pinned to v26.06.6 or earlier escaped this packaging mistake. The exemption concerns the faulty packaging; the new security fixes belong to v26.06.7.<\/p>\n
The packaging correction changes the operator's immediate problem of an attempted upgrade may need to be checked again while that window remains open.<\/p>\n
Another download trap exists during the embargo. GitHub's automatically attached source-code archives are not the v26.06.7 source, maintainers warn, so building those archives will not produce the advertised patched binaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
