Apparently, it is miners who can take advantage of the vulnerability by sending duplicate inputs. The team reports that this vulnerability may destroy different functions. Since LTC uses a similar protocol to BTC, the vulnerability was spotted on several implementations of the BTC Blockchain too.

The bug will, supposedly, stop the Litecoin network when somebody tries to validate a block with a transaction to make double spending.
