A vulnerability has been reported in Rasterbar Software libtorrent, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the “bdecode_recursive()” function in include/libtorrent/bencode.hpp when processing certain bencoded data. This can be exploited to cause a stack overflow and crash an application using the library by sending specially crafted bencoded messages.
