CVE-2014-4909  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 transmission to version 2.84-0.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream transmission package and not the transmission package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the tr_bitfieldEnsureNthBitAlloced 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.
