NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtorrent-rasterbar package and not the libtorrent-rasterbar package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

The bdecode function in bdecode.cpp in libtorrent 1.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted file.
