Debian DLA-597-1 : libupnp security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 93017

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It has been discovered that libupnp's default behaviour allows anyone to write to the filesystem of the system running a libupnp-based server application.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.17-1.2+deb7u1.

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.
