Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The lazy_bdecode function in BitTorrent DHT bootstrap server (bootstrap-dht ) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet, related to 'improper indexing.'

Note while this CVE was reported against BitTorrent DHT Bootstrapt server, the same vulnerable code is available in libtorrent-rasterbar.
