| Bug vulnerability class | Directory Traversal |
| Bug description | There is a remote directory traversal vulnerability in Blog Torrent, a Web based application that allows users to host files for Bit Torrents. A malicious user can leverage this issue by requesting files outside of the web-server root directory with directory traversal strings such as '../'.
