I don't know how that CVE tool is doing the checks, but it's doing
something wrong.
Both the CVEs that are mentioned in the list, have nothing to do with
the current library that is built with the recipe. I am actually
curious as to who is using this library anyway, because it seems to be
some random implementation with a very similar name.
The widely used library is the one at:
https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent (this is the one used in stuff
like Deluge, and other torrent software).

CVE-2016-5301 was fixed in: https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/pull/782.
CVE-2009-1760 was fixed in:
https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/commit/eb2203abf51e63b1d5ba0c3e5d972936df96c31a

Maybe we should replace the current recipe or add a separate one to
build the other library.
