Aviso a los usuarios de BitTorrent y uTorrent: si utilizáis habitualmente estos clientes P2P debéis saber que han descubierto un agujero de seguridad que potencialmente os hace vulnerables a un ataque de denegación de servicio (DoS). Un tipo con los…

It’s an overflow though, so there’s always the possibility of code execution.

Freaky-ass shit.

But like I said, it’s not like some kind of malware or anything, right? Just a uTorrent bug?

It’s changing every few seconds as someone removes the 1.6 claim and someone else puts it back.
If you read their forums, you can probably guess who.

This is probably a ploy, whether true threat or not, to make you upgrade so they can moniter you even more with the newer version.[/quote]

Their change log still listed 1.6.x as vulnerable 5 minutes ago and has now been changed again. There is a battle going on over the change log from the looks of it. The 1.6 claim has been removed at least twice.

One of the coders has repeatedly said 1.6.x is not affected, other people have tested and said it is not.

Funnily enough, a certain employee of bt/ut said he wants people to believe it is affected even though it isn’t.

Make of it what you will.

PS, in the time it took to write this post, the changelog has had the 1.6 claim reinserted.

And Azureus is a no! Wasted resources… etc. (although the Sudoku plugin was nice).[/quote]

why i read that bullshit everywhere?
azureus runs 24/7 ony my ubuntu server (which is a low end pc!), uses 0% cpu and seeds hundreds of torrents.

but use whatever you want. i don’t care

This is probably a ploy, whether true threat or not, to make you upgrade so they can moniter you even more with the newer version.

I use 1.6.x because it’s the last version released before uTorrent was purchased.

Whether my theory is correct or not. I smell something fishy and I won’t be upgrading my uTorrent.

Just my 2 cents.[/quote]

I whole-heartedly agree, this issue is 100% B.S.

You might want to recheck 488.

Here’s what I get:

1.6.1 (488) fine
1.6.1 (489) fine
1.6.1 (490) fine
1.7.0 (3353) bugged
1.7.1 (3360) bugged
1.7.2 (3458) bugged
1.7.3 (4470) bugged
1.7.4 (4482) bugged
1.7.5 (4602) bugged

Azureus FTW!

So, when do we see a retraction statement on the incorrect things in this news release? any honorable news source will fess up to their incorrect reporting…

(ec – the other being plagiarism)

Still on 1.6.1 but might upgrade if I notice a crash.

1.7.x versions are definately crashable, 1.6.x are not as they do not display the version info sent in the extended messages.

Version info of 10,000 bytes in length seems to work well. At 20,000, 1.7.2 was complaining of invalid packet length.

Some info regarding 1.6.x being vulnerable to shellcode execution has been making the rounds of site admins, but that exploit is a seperate issue and relies on uploading a malicious torrent (POC on milw0rm). Sites that clean the uploaded torrents, or don’t allow public uploads should be fine allowing 1.6.x versions.

Bit Torrent are now affiliated with the big players Warner Brothers for example, and they have signed an agreement to distribute digital content through the Bit Torrent client, what does this mean? basically that uTorrent will be that distribution client at some point in the future, and how long before we see adverts for movies within uTorrent![/quote]If that were to happen, users would switch clients immediately.

Also, on a sidenote;

Exactly. There is none. There are no systems to be taken over using this bug. And as for some TRUE statistics regarding this ‘problem’:

Being a co-admin of a 40000+ active members torrent community I can state that of the 79% in this community that are (still) using µTorrent 1.7.5, not one, I repeat: NOT 1 complaint about a freeze of crash of their client has been seen or reported yet. 3% has already updated (thanks to the autoupdate feature) to 1.7.6

This is all one big panic for (as far as I can see) an overhyped non-issue.

Stubborn as a mule dumber then a rock

i have nothing more to say to you :)[/quote]
Actually, I’m a lot smarter than you ever will be.

If you’re suggesting that after v1.6 Ludde did NOT sell his tech to Bittorrent.inc then you’re actually even dumber than you originally appeared (& I had doubts that that was possible…)

Ok, here’s the real counter then (two of the first three hits for “MPAA BitTorrent Deal” on google):

http://www.boingboing.net/2005/11/22/mpaa-bram-cohen-anno.html

There’s no more to the deal than anything that google has for its indexing system.

For users like you, I see too much tinfoil and not enough research.

And mine. We have 4 cents now. If this keeps up, we’ll have a slurpee in no time..

rtorrent ftw.

I highly suggest it for those that are using Linux.

Currently I am using KTorrent under Linux Mint 4.0 and have no issues with it.

I should point out that it has a built-in “plug-in” that can use the PeerGuardian list and it also supports encryption and it works well for me as I use Comcast as my ISP.

Been using ktorrent for several months, it’s light on resources and similar to utorrent, with the added kick & ban like azureus.

No. Your isp do neither monitor nor track your behaviour on the web.
But they might, if they’d like to.
They dont care what you do as long as you pay their overcharged bills for the slowest bb on the northern hemisphere….

The same goes for Bram Cohen. He created BitTorrent, a wonderful technology. Whereas I have absolutely nothing nasty to say about Ludde, I don’t feel the same way about Bram. In interviews, he always comes off as an extremely unpleasant, arrogant person, riding on his Asperger’s power trip pretending he’s such the boy whiz. I could forgive that if it were not for his dealings with this sad, abusive content industry we have to struggle with nowadays, be it regarding intellectual property maximalist agendas that do immense damage to consumers and the public good, be it regarding the absolutely crap content that they’ve been s****g out for a while.

Both Ludde and Bram do not owe me anything. Yet, I feel sad, betrayed, and disappointed in myself for being so naïve. For once believing they were siding with the good guys…that they were striving for something more important than money, that they believed in the power of the disruptive technologies they created to actually disrupt the old industrial forces in content production. I guess I have too much faith in people…

While I salute the initiative to pursue new business models, making a deal with the MPAA is certainly not the way to do it. There will be no innovation, just the same old business models transplanted to the Internet, with a few quirks here and there, backed up by strongly inequal IP laws, which in turn seek to sustain the artificial scarcity of digital content. I should have seen it coming as soon as Bram started arguing against net neutrality…

This is very, very sad, Ludde, this ruining of a beautiful thing. I hate to call anyone a sell out, but hey, you deserve it. I’m not going to name call Bram, since he’s beyond any help, but shame on you, Ludde. Hope you buy yourself something nice.[/quote]
shut up faggot[/quote]

Wow! Your scathing riposte must have MediaAttacker bawling like a little baby!

either that, or laughing like a drain at your utter lack of clue.

Fucktard dolt…

Why not help to get the p2p protocol a real good one, and help to have a really good open source implementation?

But beside that, you’re right: There is no proof of uTorrent being evil. But why should I use a closed-source program (which is, thats a fact, owned by the movie industrie), if there are much better ones, more features with less usage of ressources (rTorrent)?

There’s something to it, dipsh!t. And the USA is the country with the fewest “Smart Ones” by percentage.

No go screw your AIDS infected whore and pretend yer OK.
