https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-17144

"If an attacker controls or adds enough malicious nodes to the network and then causes a crash, he can execute a so-called 51% attack on the network and manipulate transactions for his financial gain."

"... attackers may attempt to exploit this flaw on smaller cryptocurrencies where the patch has not been ported yet, and where 51 percent attacks are even cheaper and easier to carry out when compared to the costs of mounting one against Bitcoin's massive network."

DGB Skein is still on version  6.14.2 !!!
