@TheBlueMatt: lnd Users Should Temporarily Shut Down Nodes

Techub News reports that @TheBlueMatt tweeted that users running lnd or any Go service and accepting internet connections should immediately shut down their nodes until the kernel is patched or MPTCP is disabled. He cited a warning stating that the Bitcoin community, if running lnd with ports open, should shut down nodes before patching or mitigating the Linux kernel MPTCP vulnerability CVE-2026-98432. He also said that Go is one of the few languages that enable MPTCP by default, and all internet connection services need to pay attention; this issue is not a vulnerability specific to lnd itself.
