CVE-2007-1799

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.4)—

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.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
