Submission + - uTorrent Exploit Discovered

Submitted by BitTorrent User
BitTorrent User writes: If you're running any version of uTorrent prior to 1.8, you could be at risk. According to a news report at Slyck, a malicious torrent can exploit uTorrent and allow a remote user to execute arbitrary code.

"The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of ".torrent" files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking the user into opening a ".torrent" file containing an overly long "created by" field. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code."
