Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Transmissionbt transmission 1.91 and classified as critical. This issue affects the function tr_magnetParse of the file libtransmission/magnet.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the tr_magnetParse function in libtransmission/magnet.c in Transmission 1.91 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted magnet URL with a large number of (1) tr or (2) ws links.

The weakness was published 03/14/2010 (Website). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2010-1853 since 05/07/2010. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept.
