What was wrong?
During testing of the London hardfork on Ropsten, a consensus failure occurred in block 10679538, leading to a network split between OpenEthereum/Besu and Geth/Nethermind. The block contained a transaction from an account with enough funds to cover the effective fee, but too little funds for the transaction's maximum gas price. EIP-1559 mandates that such transactions should be rejected. Geth's implementation of EIP-1559 did not perform the check correctly and accepted the transaction.
For more information see PR #23244 and the post-mortem writeup.
How was it fixed?
Geth v1.10.6 is a hotfix release. This resolves a consensus failure on the Ropsten testnet.
Users of Geth on the Ethereum mainnet must upgrade to this release before the London hard-fork activates to remain in consensus.
