Discussion

Transmission Magnet Link Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Transmission is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Attackers could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

Versions prior to Transmission 1.9.2 are vulnerable.
