Discussion

KTorrent Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities

KTorrent is prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities, including a directory-traversal vulnerability and an unspecified vulnerability when processing messages with invalid chunk indexes.

Very little information is known about one of these issues. This BID will be updated as soon as more information becomes available.

An attacker can exploit the directory-traversal issue to overwrite arbitrary files on the user's system. Presumably, the unspecified vulnerability when processing messages with invalid chunk indexes will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or to cause a denial of service, but this has not been confirmed.

Versions prior to 2.1.2 are vulnerable to these issues.
