Detail

Synopsis

Stack-based buffer overflows in Transmission may allow for remote execution of arbitrary code.

Background

Transmission is a cross-platform BitTorrent client.

Description

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the tr_magnetParse() function in libtransmission/magnet.c have been discovered.

Impact

A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted magnet URL with a large number of tr or ws links.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Transmission users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-p2p/transmission-1.92"
