/*     WARNING! If you're reading this because you're learning about crypto
18
       and/or designing a new system that will use merkle trees, keep in mind
19
       that the following merkle tree algorithm has a serious flaw related to
20
       duplicate txids, resulting in a vulnerability (CVE-2012-2459).
21
22
       The reason is that if the number of hashes in the list at a given level
23
       is odd, the last one is duplicated before computing the next level (which
24
       is unusual in Merkle trees). This results in certain sequences of
25
       transactions leading to the same merkle root. For example, these two
26
       trees:
27
28
                    A               A
29
                  /  \            /   \
30
                B     C         B       C
31
               / \    |        / \     / \
32
              D   E   F       D   E   F   F
33
             / \ / \ / \     / \ / \ / \ / \
34
             1 2 3 4 5 6     1 2 3 4 5 6 5 6
35
36
       for transaction lists [1,2,3,4,5,6] and [1,2,3,4,5,6,5,6] (where 5 and
37
       6 are repeated) result in the same root hash A (because the hash of both
38
       of (F) and (F,F) is C).
39
40
       The vulnerability results from being able to send a block with such a
41
       transaction list, with the same merkle root, and the same block hash as
42
       the original without duplication, resulting in failed validation. If the
43
       receiving node proceeds to mark that block as permanently invalid
44
       however, it will fail to accept further unmodified (and thus potentially
45
       valid) versions of the same block. We defend against this by detecting
46
       the case where we would hash two identical hashes at the end of the list
47
       together, and treating that identically to the block having an invalid
48
       merkle root. Assuming no double-SHA256 collisions, this will detect all
49
       known ways of changing the transactions without affecting the merkle
50
       root.
