A vulnerability has been identified in uTorrent, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service. This issue is caused by an input validation error in the WebUI when processing a large number of HTTP requests with a malformed "Range" header, which could be exploited to cause a vulnerable client to crash, creating a denial of service condition.
Note: An unspecified denial of service has also been reported in the extension protocol.
