Stack-based buffer overflow in utp.cpp in libutp, as used in Transmission before 2.74 and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted "micro transport protocol packets."
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.
