Ethereum core developer Péter Szilágyi announced the Geth v1.9.17 version and the after-event analysis of the Infura service interruption event: the previous Geth version v1.9.7 (released on November 7, 2019) had a loophole that undermined the implementation of the EIP 211 proposal. Discovered and submitted by John Youngseok Yang on May 15th. The vulnerability was then silently fixed in Geth v1.9.17 released on July 20, 2020, which brought Geth back into consensus with Besu, Nethermind, and OpenEthereum (and the Ethereum specification itself), but brought it back to the earlier Geth Version did not reach consensus.
