libtorrent (rasterbar) before 0.14.4 does not sufficiently verify the filenames in a .torrent file, allowing it to overwrite files outside the chosen download location via "../" characters.

Comment 3 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-06-08 10:55:13 UTC
I would consider this upstream, however we'd like to confirm this with upstream. In the meantime, if you like to test the patch (and maybe fix some of the other open bugs? :-) please do so.
Also, deluge ships a copy of rb_libtorrent.

Comment 8 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-06-29 00:07:14 UTC
I tested it with qbittorrent-1.0.0 which works without a problem. So unless someone comes up with a fix for the CVE patch that does not break the tests, we would like to go forward with RESTRICT=test (as much as we don't like the regression).

Bumping to a later version is no option, as that breaks the applications that need this lib, some of which are stable on some arches.

(I am working on unmasking 0.14.4 and qbittorent-1.3.3, but that would also need version bumps of btg and lince (bug 275650), while hrktorrent probably doesnt work with this and has no newer version available.)

Sorry, I dropped the test hunks from the backport since they seemed unrelated. This hunk fixes the test, please add to the CVE patch and renable tests.

Comment 11 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-06-29 19:38:01 UTC
Thanks! That patch fixes it. Tests pass now here. As the actual CVE patch was already in this revision, and only the tests failed before, I have not revbumped the ebuild.

So Markus/arches please test and proceed with marking 0.13-r1 stable. Thanks!
Comment 12 Markus Meier gentoo-dev 2009-06-29 21:26:12 UTC
amd64/x86 stable, all arches done.

There is no <net-libs/rb_libtorrent-0.14.9-r1 in portage any more.
