In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2012-5958, CVE-2012-5959, CVE-2012-5960, CVE-2012-5961, CVE-2012-5962, CVE-2012-5963, CVE-2012-5964, CVE-2012-5965. - More information:
-
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows were discovered in libupnp, a library used for handling the Universal Plug and Play protocol. HD Moore from Rapid7 discovered that SSDP queries where not correctly handled by the unique_service_name() function.
An attacker sending carefully crafted SSDP queries to a daemon built on libupnp could generate a buffer overflow, overwriting the stack, leading to the daemon crash and possible remote code execution.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.6.6-5+squeeze1.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.6.17-1.2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.6.17-1.2.
We recommend that you upgrade your libupnp packages.
