The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the function "btFiles::BuildFromMI()" in btfiles.cpp and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted torrent file. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.3.2. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not open untrusted torrent files.
