Description Charles Kerr 2010-01-05 00:45:00 UTC
Transmission 1.77 has been released, which includes a bugfix that prevents user files from being overwritten by maliciously-crafted .torrent files.
 
The tarball is available at http://mirrors.m0k.org/transmission/files/transmission-1.77.tar.xz

Release notes are at http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Changes#version-1.77

As with 1.76, this release's diffs are intentionally small to make it easier to use in stable distro cycles.  Should you want the security patch, its diffs can be found at http://trac.transmissionbt.com/changeset/9829/

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2010-01-05 07:45:12 UTC
transmission-1.77-1.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12.

Comment 2 Rahul Sundaram 2010-01-05 07:57:35 UTC
Charles, can you confirm that Fedora 11 which includes 1.72 currently needs this fix? I have trouble building 1.77 in Fedora 11

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1902527

If it requires this fix, I can just take the security patch instead of bumping up the version

Comment 3 Charles Kerr 2010-01-05 21:43:30 UTC
Rahul: yes, it appears that 1.72 is affected by this vulnerability.  I've made a 1.72 version of the diff for you at http://transmission.pastebay.com/80706

Alternately, if you'd like me to take a look at getting 1.77 to build on Fedora 11, I'd be happy to do that.  That koji.fedoraproject.org link didn't appear to have a readable build.log.

As an aside, 1.77 should fix (or at least ameliorate) the crash-on-shutdown bug that's causing so much noise in bugzilla.redhat.com... :)

Comment 5 Rahul Sundaram 2010-01-06 11:27:39 UTC
Thanks Charles. If you can take a look at building 1.77 for Fedora 11, I would appreciate it very much. Keeping the different versions aligned is useful in reducing maintenance load. I am tired of the abrt crash reports as well :-)
