Optimism Ships op-reth v2.5.0 With Dependency Security Fixes And Legacy Command Removal
Summary
Optimism’s op-reth v2.5.0, published October 1, is recommended for all operators. It removes the legacy `import-op` and `import-receipts-op` commands used for pre-Bedrock OVM history; operators relying on them must switch to the Bedrock state-bootstrap process and serve older history through l2geth. The release also patches two dependencies: rustls 0.23.45 addresses a TLS 1.3 handshake issue, and imbl 7.0.2 fixes a double-free condition. The changes do not alter OP Stack economics, and the security fixes are not evidence of an active exploit.
