Description Charles Kerr 2009-05-12 01:42:37 UTC
Fedora's version of Transmission should be updated to the new release, which closes a potential CSRF security hole for users who access Transmission via its Web Client.

1.61 is the latest release, and has the fix.

1.53 -- a new maintenance release of the 1.5x series -- also contains the fix.

Both versions were released on May 11 2009.

This is public already via announcement on the upstream page:
  http://www.transmissionbt.com/

Upstream changeset seem to be:
  http://trac.transmissionbt.com/changeset/8358
  http://trac.transmissionbt.com/changeset/8378/branches/1.5x

Removing bug visibility restriction.  No need to check 'Security Sensitive' for issues that are public already.

CVE-2009-1757:
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Transmission 1.5
before 1.53 and 1.6 before 1.61 allows remote attackers to hijack the
authentication of unspecified victims via unknown vectors.
