Rough security of μtorrent / bittorrent software

[Archiee]

Security issues are reported here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zer ... it? Id = 1524 Basically, μtorrent in its "web" version can be fooled if you visit a bad site intentioned. The attacker must resort to an attack by " DNS rebinding ", and can then control your μtorrent instance, to make you download anything but why not a virus. While for the classic version, it can be planted easily, as well as other actions but I did not understand what was the possible scale of the attack. Apart from the crash, the person can also know the list of files you download (leak information) and copy these files.

The person who reported the faults for μtorrent found similar problems with the Transmission software. The difference being that Transmission has reacted to the problem and has already corrected it ( https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zer ... it? Id = 1447 ), while μtorrent leek again, of where disclosure of the flaw after the 90 days left to the firm to correct them. Trackers may "react" to these ads, and counter-indicate the use of μtorrent / bittorrent. Edit: this article has been rewritten, I read the safety report across ...
