Buffer overflow bug on Ubuntu 24.04

[bibimagic]

hello,

after upgrading ubuntu to version 24.04, rtorrent crashes with a "Buffer Overflow" error.
This seems to be due to increased security on the new version of Ubuntu.
A similar problem has already occurred with the Opensuse distribution, as shown in the link: #1169.

How can I use rtorrent again with Ubuntu 24.04?

You are a life saver, my friend! I have upgraded my home server yo 24.04 and have had the same issue with Buffer Overflow error. Your patch solved it.

Thanks a lot!
