Title:	Ubuntu USN-885-1 (transmission)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to transmission announced via advisory USN-885-1. 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) Solution: 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. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-885-1 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 6.8
