Buffer overflow in the web interface in BitTorrent 6.0.1 (build 7859) and earlier, and uTorrent 1.7.6 (build 7859) and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) via a crafted Range header. NOTE: this is probably a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-0071 and CVE-2008-0364.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects old BitTorrent and uTorrent desktop clients when their web interface is enabled. A remote attacker can trigger excessive memory use and a crash using a malformed HTTP Range header. The documented impact is denial of service, not data theft or code execution. Exposure is most likely where legacy BitTorrent or uTorrent clients still run with the web interface enabled, especially if reachable from untrusted networks. Systems without the web interface enabled or with access limited to trusted hosts are less exposed. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It is not currently supported by the bundle as actively exploited or code-execution risk, but exposed web interfaces on obsolete clients can still create avoidable outage and incident-response work. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire affected BitTorrent and uTorrent versions.; Disable the web interface where it is not required.; Restrict web interface access to trusted hosts or VPNs..
