Ki Chain : Security Update
The Cosmos SDK and the Tendermint codebase have just been updated to patch a security flaw discovered recently. Consequently we have updated the ki-tools to account for this patch and these new versions. We provide hereafter a quick tutorial on how to update the Kazeki validators:
Step 1 :
Fetch the last version of the ki-tools with:
git pull origin master
Step 2 :
Re-install the ki tools by running
make install
Step 3 :
Relaunch your node. This step depends on your setup. Generally you can send a kill signal to the kid process as follows using
kill <pid>
where <pid> can be fetched with :
ps ax | grep kid
Once stopped the node can be restarted with the command:
kid start — home ./kid.
Make sure to run this command in your node home directory where your kid/ and kicli/ folders exist.
We encourage all the validators on the KiChain testnet to update their validators to this latest version as soon as this post is published.
