CVE-2008-5905

Publication date 15 January 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The web interface plugin in KTorrent before 3.1.4 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and upload arbitrary torrent files, and trigger the start of downloads and seeding, via a crafted HTTP POST request.
