CVE-2019-25586
Deluge 1.3.15 Denial of Service via URL Field
In short
Deluge 1.3.15 crashes when a user pastes an extremely long text string (5000+ characters) into the URL field while adding a torrent. This allows someone with local access to disable the application.
Technical detail
The application fails to validate input length on the URL field during torrent addition, allowing a local attacker to trigger a denial of service through a buffer overflow condition. Exploitation requires user interaction to paste the malicious input into the GUI.
