    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1817-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde
    June 17th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : ctorrent
    Vulnerability : stack-based buffer overflow
    Problem type : local (remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian bug : 530255
    CVE ID : CVE-2009-1759


    Michael Brooks discovered that ctorrent, a text-mode bittorrent client,
    does not verify the length of file paths in torrent files. An attacker
    can exploit this via a crafted torrent that contains a long file path to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user opening the file.


    The oldstable distribution (etch) does not contain ctorrent.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.3.4-dnh3.2-1+lenny1.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.3.4-dnh3.2-1.1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your ctorrent packages.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
