Bug Description
Building libtorrent against boost-1.54 leaves it vulnerable to this UPNP issue.
Basically libtorrent upnp opens port 0 (wildcard port so the router forwards all unmapped ports to the given IP) on the router leaving open to attack.

I have applied this to all feddora branches and recommend you do the same.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Since the package referred to in this bug is in universe or multiverse, it is community maintained. If you are able, I suggest coordinating with upstream and posting a debdiff for this issue. When a debdiff is available, members of the security team will review it and publish the package.
