CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

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.

Severity
5.3
Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L

Input Validation, Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

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.

CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

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.

Severity
6.8
Integer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

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.

Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

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.

XSS
AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

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.

Severity

Path Traversal
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

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.

CSRF
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

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.
