Published Jan 31, 2013

Description

Stack-based buffer overflow in the unique_service_name function in ssdp/ssdp_server.c in the SSDP parser in the portable SDK for UPnP Devices (aka libupnp, formerly the Intel SDK for UPnP devices) before 1.6.18 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a UDP packet with a crafted string that is not properly handled after a certain pointer subtraction.

Remediation

Red Hat statement

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect GUPnP, which is an independent implementation of the UPnP standard, entirely different from libupnp. libupnp, while affected, is not provided by any version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
