A security researcher has found a vulnerability in the TorrentTrader tracker software which can be exploited to leak the contents of a site’s IP database. This database can then be used to gain unauthorized access to a site’s tracker. The vendor has been informed and a fix is available.
Thousands of private BitTorrent trackers using the popular TBDev code are vulnerable to hostile takeover. According to a security researcher, a successful execution of the exploit could result in the attacker gaining admin rights to the tracker. However, knowledge and a little care can mitigate the effects.
The popular BitTorrent client uTorrent is reported to be vulnerable to remote exploits. Such exploits allow hackers to gain remote access to, and control over your computer.
