CVE-2009-5134

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions uTorrent versions prior to 1.8.3 (Build 16010)

Description A buffer overflow issue exists in the "create torrent dialog" functionality, allowing user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to application crashes, and possibly execute arbitrary code via a text file containing a large string.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.8.3 (Build 16010), update to version 1.8.3 (Build 16010) or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the "create torrent dialog" functionality with untrusted text files until a patch is applied.
