CVSS v2.0

6.4

Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: KTorrent versions prior to 2.1.3

Description: A directory traversal issue exists due to incomplete validation of torrent filenames, allowing remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files by using modified ".." sequences. This can be achieved with "../" sequences in a torrent filename.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 2.1.3, update to version 2.1.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the handling of torrent filenames to prevent the use of "../" sequences until a patch is applied.
