CVE-2007-1799: Joris Guisson Ktorrent

Medium severity, CVSS 6.4. EPSS: 2.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Directory traversal vulnerability in torrent.cpp in KTorrent before 2.1.3 only checks for the ".." string, which allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via modified ".." sequences in a torrent filename, as demonstrated by "../" sequences, due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-1384.
