Package name ktorrent
Date May 1st, 2007
Advisory ID MDKSA-2007:095
Affected versions 2007.1

Problem Description

A directory traversal vulnerability was found in KTorrent prior to
2.1.2, due to an incomplete fix for a prior directory traversal
vulnerability that was corrected in version 2.1.2. Previously,
KTorrent would only check for the string .., which could permit
strings such as ../.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
