--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : rb_libtorrent
Product     : Fedora 9
Version     : 0.12.1
Release     : 2.fc9
URL         : https://www.rasterbar.com/products/libtorrent/
Summary     : A C++ BitTorrent library aiming to be the best alternative
Description :
rb_libtorrent is a C++ library that aims to be a good alternative to all
the other BitTorrent implementations around. It is a library and not a full
featured client, although it comes with a few working example clients.

Its main goals are to be very efficient (in terms of CPU and memory usage) as
well as being very easy to use both as a user and developer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This release adds an upstream patch to fix a directory traversal vulnerability
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.
In addition to this, asio-devel has been added to the dependencies for the
rb_libtorrent-devel package - a fix already applied to the Fedora 10, 11, and
Development ("Rawhide") packages.
