+ remote execution of code and arbitrary torrent uploads.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ KTorrent is a BitTorrent program for KDE.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <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 "&gt;=net-p2p/ktorrent-2.2.8"</code>
