CVE ID         : not yet available

Tavis Ormandy discovered a vulnerability in the Transmission BitTorrent
client; insecure RPC handling between the Transmission daemon and the
client interface(s) may result in the execution of arbitrary code if a
user visits a malicious website while Transmission is running.

in version 2.84-0.2+deb8u1.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.92-2+deb9u1.
