NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bitcoin package and not the bitcoin package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The Bitcoin protocol, as used in bitcoind before 0.4.4, wxBitcoin, Bitcoin-Qt, and other programs, does not properly handle multiple transactions with the same identifier, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (unspendable transaction) by leveraging the ability to create a duplicate coinbase transaction.
