  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
      torrent file using CTorrent, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary
      code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All CTorrent users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-p2p/ctorrent-3.3.2-r1"
