A new build of Bitcoin 0.9.3 has been pushed to the repositories.

This build addresses an issue discovered Saturday where Bitcoin nodes using the security fixes in OpenSSL 1.0.1k were not correctly validating blocks.

I have backported a fix for this issue and it is now available for download.

Affected users may have a corrupt database index; if this is the case then the message "Chain state database corruption likely" will appear in the debug.log, and the GUI will state no block source available even with multiple peers connected. Run bitcoind or bitcoin-qt with the -reindex command line option to fix your block chain index. (Warning: This may take several hours, or even longer on slower computers.)

---

Beginning with 0.10.0 (coming soon), RPM package builds run the Bitcoin test suite as part of the build process. This wasn't possible before due to issues with the test suite itself which have since been resolved. Test packages of 0.10.0 rc1 are now in the bitcoin-test repository. Please read the upstream release notes and make a backup of your data directory before installing or upgrading to 0.10.0.
