Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-436-2)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'ktorrent' package(s) announced via the USN-436-2 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ktorrent' package(s) announced via the USN-436-2 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: USN-436-1 fixed a vulnerability in KTorrent. The original fix for path traversal was incomplete, allowing for alternate vectors of attack. This update solves the problem. Original advisory details: Bryan Burns of Juniper Networks discovered that KTorrent did not correctly validate the destination file paths nor the HAVE statements sent by torrent peers. A malicious remote peer could send specially crafted messages to overwrite files or execute arbitrary code with user privileges. Affected Software/OS: 'ktorrent' package(s) on Ubuntu 6.06, Ubuntu 6.10, Ubuntu 7.04. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.4 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P
