Discussion

libupnp Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

libupnp is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the device that uses the affected library. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application.

libupnp versions prior to 1.6.18 are affected.
