KTorrent Remote Directory Traversal Variant Vulnerability

KTorrent is prone to a remote directory-traversal vulnerability.

An attacker can exploit this issue by using modified '..' sequences to overwrite arbitrary files on a victim user's system.

This issue is due to an incomplete vendor fix of the issue discussed in BID 22930.

Versions of KTorrent prior to 2.1.3 are vulnerable to this issue.
