medium Nessus Plugin ID 37741

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A directory traversal vulnerability was found in KTorrent prior to 2.1.2, due to an incomplete fix for a prior directory traversal vulnerability that was corrected in version 2.1.2. Previously, KTorrent would only check for the string .., which could permit strings such as ../.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
