Hello Yves-Alexis, to follow up on this one. The source of the issue seems to be underlying libutp code: [1] https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/5002#comment:22 more specifically the way how libutp (previously) handled selective acknowledgements, which resulted in following two (libutp) patches: [2] https://github.com/bittorrent/libutp/issues/38 [3] https://github.com/bittorrent/libutp/issues/37 Transmission upstream corrected this issue in v2.74: [4] https://trac.transmissionbt.com/query?milestone=2.74&group=component&order=severity with the following patch: [5] https://trac.transmissionbt.com/changeset/13646 Ad assigning CVE ids - I think one CVE id is enough. The problem is in libutp code, and Transmission upstream seems to commit their own change only due to libutp (un)responsiveness: [6] https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/5002#comment:32 Thank you && Regards, Jan. -- Jan iankko Lieskovsky / Red Hat Security Response Team P.S.: All the links from above at one place are at: [7] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909934 ----- Original Message ----- On dim., 2013-02-10 at 11:50 +0100, Josselin Mouette wrote:Package: transmission-daemon Version: 2.52-3 Severity: grave Tags: security patch upstream Justification: user security hole The transmission-daemon package in wheezy crashes regularly. According to upstream this is a remote security hole (at least a remote DoS, but most probably there is a way to take control of the process). https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/5044 https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/5002 Apparently there is no CVE assigned. The bug is fixed upstream and I’m attaching the patch. I’m currently testing a patched package, and will report whether the fix is sufficient. Could a CVE be assigned for this?
