ID:	201703-06

Synopsis

A vulnerability in Deluge might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Background

Deluge is a BitTorrent client.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
net-p2p/deluge	< 1.3.14	>= 1.3.14	All supported architectures

Description

A CSRF vulnerability was discovered in the web UI of Deluge.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user currently logged in into Deluge web UI to visit a malicious web page which uses forged requests to make Deluge download and install a Deluge plug-in provided by the attacker. The plug-in can then execute arbitrary code as the user running Deluge.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Deluge users should upgrade to the latest version:

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-p2p/deluge-1.3.14"
