Fedora 9 : deluge-0.5.9.3-2.fc9 (2009-6682)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 39545

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This release adds a backported upstream patch to fix a directory traversal vulnerability in the included copy of libtorrent which would allow a remote attacker to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a '..' (dot dot) and partial relative pathname in a specially crafted torrent.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected deluge package.
