A vulnerability has been discovered in Enhanced CTorrent, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

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.
