The weakness was published 01/31/2018 by Tavis Ormandy (taviso) as confirmed bug report (Website). The advisory is shared at bugs.chromium.org. The public release has been coordinated with the project team. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2018-25042. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The advisory points out:
The utorrent binary disables ASLR and /GS. This is a really bad idea. (Note that the binary is UPX packed, but this doesn't change any security properties).
Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability.
