Debian DLA-2238-1 : libupnp security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 137247

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

libupnp, the portable SDK for UPnP Devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSDP message due to a NULL pointer dereference in the functions FindServiceControlURLPath and FindServiceEventURLPath in genlib/service_table/service_table.c.
This crash can be triggered by sending a malformed SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE using any of the attached files.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.19+git20141001-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libupnp 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.
