Erroneous Proof of Work calculation in geth
Impact
An ethash mining DAG generation flaw in Geth could cause miners to erroneously calculate PoW in an upcoming epoch (estimated early January, 2021). This happened on the ETC chain on 2020-11-06. This issue is relevant only for miners, non-mining nodes are unaffected.
