The remote host is missing an update for the 'transmission' package(s) announced via the USN-1584-1 advisory. Justin C. Klein Keane discovered that the Transmission web client incorrectly escaped certain strings. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted torrent file, an attacker could possibly exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
