Description
===========
census reported a directory traversal vulnerability in
src/torrent_info.cpp that can be triggered via .torrent files.
Impact

create or overwrite arbitrary files using dot dot sequences in
filenames.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Rasterbar libtorrent users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=net-libs/rb_libtorrent-0.13-r1"
