Ubuntu Security Notice 436-2

Ubuntu Security Notice 436-2
Posted May 21, 2007
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 436-2 - USN-436-1 fixed a vulnerability in KTorrent. The original fix for path traversal was incomplete, allowing for alternate vectors of attack. Bryan Burns of Juniper Networks discovered that KTorrent did not correctly validate the destination file paths nor the HAVE statements sent by torrent peers. A malicious remote peer could send specially crafted messages to overwrite files or execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
