Tom Richards reported that by using a crafted torrent file one could cause a use-after-free, which might result in a denial of service (crash) or possible execution of arbitrary code.
For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 2.84-0.2+deb8u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your transmission packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
