F9 already fixed via: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2008-9167 F8 can possibly be addressed using rbu's patch backports. pinged upstream about kde3's ktorrent-2.2.x (used in F-8): http://ktorrent.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=14574 In the meantime, will look over gentoo's patches. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-5905 to the following vulnerability: The web interface plugin in KTorrent before 3.1.4 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and upload arbitrary torrent files, and trigger the start of downloads and seeding, via a crafted HTTP POST request.

Other opinions? This issue was addressed in: Fedora: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2008-9167 ktorrent-2.2.8-1.el5 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 stable repository.
