Debian 9: DLA-2305-1 Critical: Transmission Denial Of Service

Use-after-free in libtransmission/variant.c in Transmission before
3.00 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted torrent file.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
2.92-2+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your transmission packages.
