Bug Description

Binary package hint: torrentflux

Just tried to start a torrentfile with 3 dot's in the name:

It results in the following error:

SOMENAME_.And_Friends_EAC_FLAC_.torrent could not be found or does not exist.

So it filters 2 dots out, some magical way.

After doing this:

root:/var/cache/torrentflux/.torrents# mv SOMENAME_...And_Friends_EAC_FLAC_.torrent SOMENAME_And_Friends_EAC_FLAC_.torrent

it worked as expected.

This is due to the security features installed recently that prevents users from navigating your server outside of the torrentflux directory. All instances of '..' are removed to prevent unplanned returns to higher directories.
