Advisory:
========================

Updated qbittorrent packages fix security vulnerability:

In qBittorrent before 4.1.7, the function Application::runExternalProgram()
located in app/application.cpp allows command injection via shell
metacharacters in the torrent name parameter or current tracker parameter, as
demonstrated by remote command execution via a crafted name within an RSS feed
(CVE-2019-13640).

The qbittorrent package has been updated to version 4.1.9.1, fixing this issue
and several others.

Hi,

I've installed the new version 4.1.9 in Mageia 7 Plasma Virtualbox x64. Works fine. The search, download and boot, works without problems.

Greetings.
