Stack-based buffer overflow in (1) uTorrent 1.7.7 build 8179 and earlier and (2) BitTorrent 6.0.3 build 8642 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Created By field in a .torrent file.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
