Deluge 1.3.15 Denial of Service via URL Field

CVSS 6.9 MEDIUMEPSS 0.2%CWE-466
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.
