MGASA-2020-0483 - Updated minidlna packages fix security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 31 Dec 2020
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2020-0483.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 7
CVE: CVE-2020-12695,
     CVE-2020-28926

It was discovered that minidlna does not forbid the acceptance of a
subscription request with a delivery URL on a different network segment than
the fully qualified event-subscription URL, aka the CallStranger issue
(CVE-2020-12695).

Minidlna before versions 1.3.0 allows remote code execution. Sending a
malicious UPnP HTTP request to the miniDLNA service using HTTP chunked
encoding can lead to a signedness bug resulting in a buffer overflow in calls
to memcpy/memmove (CVE-2020-28926).
