An emergency upgrade for all LND nodes of the Lightning network was published on GitHub yesterday, November 1st.
The reason: a critical error that caused the nodes to drop out of the synchronization chain.
The error could therefore lead to "LND nodes not being able to analyze certain transactions with a very large number of witness entries".
Another problem arises from this. Unupdated nodes are vulnerable to malicious channel closures once "channel timeouts expire in two weeks".
It's the second hurdle in a month that the Layer 2 protocol has to overcome.
A similar error occurred with Bitcoin Lightning at the beginning of October . Then as now, the developer @Burak was responsible for the bug.
The Lightning network is a valuable addition to the Bitcoin mainnet.
