Synopsis
=======
A stack-based buffer overflow in CTorrent might allow a remote attacker
to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Background
=========
CTorrent is a BitTorrent client implemented in C++ to be lightweight
and quick.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-p2p/ctorrent            < 3.3.2-r1               >= 3.3.2-r1

Description
==========
CTorrent contains a stack-based buffer overflow in the
btFiles::BuildFromMI function in trunk/btfiles.cpp.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
torrent file using CTorrent, possibly resulting in execution of
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of
Service condition.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All CTorrent users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-p2p/ctorren-3.3.2-r1"
