Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-1799

It was discovered that ktorrent, a BitTorrent client for KDE, was vulnerable

overwrite arbitrary files.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
2.0.3+dfsg1-2etch1.
For the old stable distribution (sarge), this package was not present.
