Debian: DSA-3621-2 Critical: Libxml2 Security Flaws Allow Remote Attacks
debian
February 2, 2013
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows were discovered in libupnp, a library used for handling the Universal Plug and Play protocol
Summary
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.
