Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Transmission version 1.91

Description The issue is related to multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the tr magnetParse function, which can be triggered by a crafted magnet URL containing a large number of tr or ws links. This can cause a denial of service (crash) or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.

Recommendations For Transmission version 1.91, consider disabling the tr magnetParse function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to magnet URLs with multiple tr or ws links to minimize the risk of exploitation.
