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

Background
==========
Deluge is a BitTorrent client.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-p2p/deluge < 1.3.14 >= 1.3.14

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"
