Subject: CVE Request : Libtorrent 1.1.0 inflate_gzip denial of service
Hi list,
I recently opened a bug on "Libtorrent 1.1.0" regarding malformed GZIP
encoded responses that causes denial of service.
For example, an attacker-controlled torrent tracker can crash victim torrent
clients by sending malformed GZIP responses.
This bug has been fixed by the maintainer in master and the branch RC_1_1:
https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/1021
https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/pull/1022
I also tested the bug with two "Libtorrent based" softwares :
qBittorrent and Deluge. Both of them were affected and crashed on
receiving the malformed response.
