CVE-2008-4434 describes a stack-based buffer overflow in uTorrent 1.7.7 and earlier, and BitTorrent 6.0.3 and earlier, triggered by a long "Created By" field in a .torrent file. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.3 (critical), indicating it can be exploited remotely with medium complexity to cause a denial of service and potentially arbitrary code execution.
