===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-885-1           January 14, 2010
transmission vulnerabilities
CVE-2009-1757, CVE-2010-0012
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 8.10
Ubuntu 9.04
Ubuntu 9.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
  transmission-cli                1.06-0ubuntu6.1
  transmission-gtk                1.06-0ubuntu6.1

Ubuntu 8.10:
  transmission-cli                1.34-0ubuntu2.3
  transmission-gtk                1.34-0ubuntu2.3

Ubuntu 9.04:
  transmission-cli                1.51-0ubuntu3.1
  transmission-gtk                1.51-0ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 9.10:
  transmission-cli                1.75-0ubuntu2.2
  transmission-gtk                1.75-0ubuntu2.2
  transmission-qt                 1.75-0ubuntu2.2

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart Transmission to effect
the necessary changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that the Transmission web interface was vulnerable to
cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. If a user were tricked into
opening a specially crafted web page in a browser while Transmission was
running, an attacker could trigger commands in Transmission. This issue
affected Ubuntu 9.04. (CVE-2009-1757)

Dan Rosenberg discovered that Transmission did not properly perform input
validation when processing torrent files. If a user were tricked into
opening a crafted torrent file, an attacker could overwrite files via
directory traversal. (CVE-2010-0012)
