The BitTorrent implementation in Opera 9.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and application crash) via a malformed torrent file. NOTE: the original disclosure refers to this as a memory leak, but it is not certain.
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
