TITLE:
Transmission "tr_magnetParse()" Magnet Parsing Buffer Overflows

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39031

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39031/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Transmission, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the
"tr_magnetParse()" function in libtransmission/magnet.c, which can be
exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows by e.g. tricking a
user into following a specially crafted magnet URL.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.91. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.92.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by pjz in a Transmission bug report.
