Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ktorrent allowing for
the remote execution of arbitrary code and a Denial of Service.
Background
==========
Ktorrent is a Bittorrent client for KDE.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-p2p/ktorrent < 2.1.3 >= 2.1.3
Description
===========
Bryan Burns of Juniper Networks discovered a vulnerability in
chunkcounter.cpp when processing large or negative idx values, and a
directory traversal vulnerability in torrent.cpp.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to download a specially crafted
torrent file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running Ktorrent.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Ktorrent users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-p2p/ktorrent-2.1.3"
