Two vulnerabilities were discovered in libupnp, a portable SDK for
UPnP devices.

CVE-2016-6255

Matthew Garret discovered that libupnp by default allows any user to
write to the filesystem of the host running a libupnp-based server
application.

CVE-2016-8863

Scott Tenaglia discovered a heap buffer overflow vulnerability, that
can lead to denial of service or remote code execution.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
