uTorrent version 1.6.1 build 488 STABLE is released
The popular BitTorrent client server gets a much needed update, especially in light of yesterdays reports of the remote exploit hack.
Today there is an update of the uTorrent BitTorrent client server available, it's version 1.6.1 build 488 STABLE.
This is particularly important in light of yesterday's news noting how the previous stable release was vulnerable to hackers who could infiltrate your PC and execute arbitary code if a user opens a manipulated torrent tracker file.
The apparent "glitch" in the software was that torrent tracker fields may contain an "announce" field. Well, if this "announce" field is longer than 4800 bytes, an internal µTorrent buffer overflows, thereby allowing hackers to run their exploits.
