Debian DLA-2197-1 : miniupnpc security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 136206

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a integer signedness error in the miniupnpc UPnP client that could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service attack.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.20140610-2+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your miniupnpc packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
