<p>
|
|
The web interface plugin does not restrict access to the torrent upload
|
|
functionality (CVE-2008-5905) and does not sanitize request parameters
|
|
properly (CVE-2008-5906) .
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could send specially crafted parameters to the web
|
|
interface that would allow for arbitrary torrent uploads and remote
|
|
code execution with the privileges of the KTorrent process.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Disabling the web interface plugin will prevent exploitation of both
|
|
issues. Click "Plugins" in the configuration menu and uncheck the
|
|
checkbox left of "WebInterface", then apply the changes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All KTorrent users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-p2p/ktorrent-2.2.8"</code>
