Use-after-free in libtransmission/variant.c in Transmission before 3.00 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted torrent file.
Transmission before 1.92 allows attackers to prevent download of a file by corrupted data during the endgame.
Transmission before 1.92 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact via a large number of tr arguments in a magnet link.
Transmission through 2.92 relies on X-Transmission-Session-Id (which is not a forbidden header for Fetch) for access control, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary RPC commands, and consequently write to arbitrary files, via POST requests to /transmission/rpc in conjunction with a DNS rebinding attack.
Integer overflow in the trbitfieldEnsureNthBitAlloced function in bitfield.c in Transmission before 2.84 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted peer message, which triggers an out-of-bounds write.
A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Transmission, a free, lightweight BitTorrent client, performed connection acknowledgements processing. A remote attacker could issue a specially-crafted request that, when processed would lead to transmission-daemon crash.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the web client in Transmission before 2.61 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) comment, (2) created by, or (3) name field in a torrent file.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the trmagnetParse 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.
Directory traversal vulnerability in libtransmission/metainfo.c in Transmission 1.22, 1.34, 1.75, and 1.76 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a pathname within a .torrent file.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Transmission 1.5 before 1.53 and 1.6 before 1.61 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of unspecified victims via unknown vectors.
