Core Lightning patches critical security flaws and a Bitcoin payment bug

Core Lightning, software for running Bitcoin Lightning payment nodes, has released v26.06.9 with security fixes and a repair for a regression that could delay channel traffic on busy nodes running v26.06.8. GitHub lists the new release as published Oct. 7, while its versioned changelog carries an Oct. 6 date. The update gives operators who installed v26.06.8 a fresh decision on upgrading, following the Sept. 27 revoked-channel penalty flaw that was fixed in v26.06.7. The latest patch adds fixes and addresses a regression introduced by that later version.
