  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to download a specially crafted
    torrent file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the user running Ktorrent.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Ktorrent users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-p2p/ktorrent-2.1.3"</code>
