CVE-2010-0748
Transmission before 1.92 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact via a large number of tr arguments in a magnet link.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.88%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
